Collared Inca

Um beija-flor de médio-grande porte das florestas montanas andinas da Colômbia à Bolívia, os incas-de-colar têm uma plumagem preta e branca marcante com uma larga faixa peitoral branca e manchas caudais brancas distintas visíveis em voo. Habitando florestas e orlas florestais a altitudes de 1.700-3.200 metros, alimentam-se em diversas plantas com flores e são importantes polinizadores de arbustos e árvores andinas de grandes flores. As suas contrastantes manchas caudais brancas piscam proeminentemente durante o voo suspenso, auxiliando no reconhecimento da espécie.
