Black Flowerpiercer (Diglossa humeralis) - 07 & 19 Aug2024

The Black Flowerpiercer lives in the same habitats as its closest relative the Glossy Flowerpiercer, in the Andes from Venezuela down through Peru.  The males can have a little blue coloring in the shoulder area but nothing approaching the big blue patch of the Glossy.  The females are more dull and the immatures even more so.  All below photos taken on my second trip to Colombia.
