zumbador ventriblanco

El colibrí estrellita ventriblanco (Chaetocercus mulsant) es uno de los colibríes más pequeños, con machos que pesan apenas 2,5 g. Habita en los Andes y valles interandinos desde Colombia hasta Bolivia, entre los 1.500 y 3.500 metros de altitud. Los machos lucen un llamativo gorguera amatista-púrpura y vientre blanco con flancos verdes. A pesar de su diminuto tamaño, son agresivos y muy maniobrables, entrando en torpor nocturno para conservar energía ante el frío andino.
