White-bellied Woodstar

O beija-flor estrela-de-barriga-branca (Chaetocercus mulsant) é um dos beija-flores mais diminutos, com machos pesando apenas 2,5 g. Habita os Andes e vales interandinos da Colômbia até a Bolívia, entre 1.500 e 3.500 metros de altitude. Os machos exibem uma vistosa gorjeira amatista-púrpura e barriga branca com flancos verdes. Apesar do tamanho minúsculo, são agressivos e altamente manobráveis, entrando em torpor noturno para conservar energia no frio andino.
