Ermitaño Barbigrís

Un pequeño ermitaño colibrí discreto de los bosques secos y húmedos de los Andes desde Colombia hasta Bolivia, los ermitaños de barba gris tienen partes superiores pardas, barbilla gris y partes inferiores de color ante pálido con una cola central de punta blanca — una paleta discreta comparada con muchos colibríes. Habitan el sotobosque forestal y el borde de bosque arbustivo a altitudes de 300–1.600 metros, siguiendo rutas sistemáticas de trampa para visitar plantas florales. Los machos se reúnen en leks para atraer hembras mediante vocalización persistente.
