Picolanza Frentiverde

El colibrí lancero de frente verde (Doryfera ludovicae) es un colibrí de tamaño mediano con un pico distintivamente largo y ligeramente curvado hacia arriba. Habita el estrato medio del húmedo bosque montano nublado de los Andes, desde Costa Rica a través de Colombia y Ecuador hasta Bolivia, a elevaciones de 1.000 a 2.400 metros. Su alargado pico está especializado para explorar las largas flores tubulares de Centropogon y otras campánulas andinas inaccesibles para colibríes de pico más corto. Los machos son verde brillante en todo el cuerpo; las hembras tienen las partes inferiores con manchas blancas. Clasificado como Preocupación Menor.
