Wedge-billed Hummingbird

O beija-flor bico-de-cunha (Schistes geoffroyi) é um minúsculo beija-flor de florestas úmidas e bordas de mata nos Andes e no norte da América do Sul. Seu curto bico em forma de cunha está adaptado para flores de tubo curto do gênero Heliconia. Habita altitudes desde as terras baixas até 2.400 metros, forrageando frequentemente no sub-bosque de densas florestas nubladas. Os machos têm plumagem iridescente verde e bronze-esverdeado. Com frequência paira na sombra do chão florestal, tornando-se difícil de observar.
