Турмалиновая нимфа

A high-altitude Andean hummingbird named for its warm amber-orange sunangel plumage on the gorget, tourmaline sunangels inhabit páramo grassland, cloud forest, and forest edge in Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador at elevations of 2,200–4,100 meters. Males display a glittering orange-coppery to purple gorget depending on light angle. Like all sunangels, they are relatively cold-tolerant for hummingbirds and may lower metabolic rate significantly at night to conserve energy in the cold Andes.
