Peruvian Racket-tail
Fantastic cloud forest hummingbird found in the eastern Andes from southern Colombia to central Peru. Male has a straight tail ending in rackets and buffy leg puffs. On female, note the combination of short bill, white underparts scaled with green, white facial marks, and buffy thighs. Typically feeds at small flowers at forest edge or in clearings.
This one was photographed in Northern Peru led by Neotropic Photo Tours and our Peruvian guide Steve Sánchez Wildlife Photography.
