Bronzy Inca

A large, robust hummingbird of Andean cloud forests and forest edges from Venezuela to Bolivia, bronzy incas display glittering bronze-green plumage with an iridescent green throat and a distinctive white breast spot. They inhabit elevations between 900–2,800 meters and are aggressive territory defenders at flower patches. Bronzy incas are trap-liners, following regular routes along flowering plant corridors rather than defending single territories. Listed as Least Concern with stable populations.
