Family: Trochilidae (Hummingbirds)
Authority: Wetmore & Phelps, Jr., 1952
Red List Category
This species has a very small range and population, restricted to a number of very small subpopulations, which are inferred to be declining as a variety of threats including narcotics cultivation, uncontrolled colonisation, cattle-ranching and mineral exploitation cause the loss and fragmentation of its high altitude habitat. It has consequently been uplisted as Endangered.
