The Sparkling Violetear has a large purplish blue belly patch that distinguishes it from the similar Lesser Violetear (Colibri cyanotus). This species also has a purplish “chinstrap” and is larger and brighter green at the throat than its relative. This individual was at the Jardin Encantado in the small town of San Francisco, not far west of Bogota.
