Tufted Coquette - Lophornis ornatus

Coquette huppe-col

Tufted Coquette male adult breeding
A stunning wee hummer with an irridescent green gorget, a red floppy crest, a spiky ruff lots of attitude. Like all coquettes they have the characteristic white band across the rump which makes them look like Bumble-Bees.
