This is another hummingbird species that I found on my second trip to Colombia that I totally failed to get good pics of. Many of these thornbills and helmetcrests only visit flowers and not feeders, making them difficult to photograph. This one below was photographed only when I split from the main group and did some exploring on my own outside the Hotel Termales Del Ruiz. Unfortunately the bird did not face me and so I couldn't see the amazing rainbow "beard". As I was photographing it the tour leader called me back and I had to leave it uncrushed.
