Dot-eared Coquette

Lophornis gouldii

Near Threatened

The Dot-eared Coquette is a nectar-feeding hummingbird of tropical and subtropical Americas. It also takes tiny insects and spiders for protein, using fast hovering flight, rapid wingbeats, and a long bill to work flowers and defend feeding areas. It is not yet globally threatened, but range pressure or population trends mean it needs watching.
