metalura colirrojo

Un pequeño colibrí brillantemente coloreado de los bosques nublados andinos y páramos desde Venezuela hacia el sur hasta Bolivia, los metaliuras tirias tienen gorjales púrpura-magenta profundo y colas rojizo-púrpura metálicas. Habitan elevaciones de 2.500 a 4.500 metros, revoloteando ante arbustos y hierbas floridas del páramo. Los machos defienden territorios en torno a parches de flores ricas en néctar. Entre los colibríes de mayor altitud, están fisiológicamente adaptados al aire frío y enrarecido de los altos Andes.
