White-tailed Hillstar is a distinctive, large hummingbird of the northern Andes. It is not closely related to the other hillstars (Oreotrochilus), and also differs in habitat preferences: species of Oreotrochilus occupy puna and paramo grasslands, above tree line, whereas White-tailed Hillstar occurs in humid forest on the lower slopes of the Andes. Both sexes are green overall, with a blue throat and breast and extensive white in the rectices. The nominate subspecies, of the Pacific slope, has a orange stripe extended back from the base of the bill; this stripe is lacking in the subspecies of the east slope of the Andes, leucura, which also has more white in the tail. These two distinctive, and geographically isolated, taxa are recognized as separate species by some authorities ("Rufous-gaped Hillstar" and "White-tailed Hillstar" sensu stricto, respectively). Neither population of White-tailed Hillstar is well known, but both forage on nectar and aerial insects in humid montane forest edge and forest clearings, often near water. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf0_LfQhtrq/ #EcuadorianBirdsSeria #EcuadorianAnimalsSeria #EcuadorianHummingbirdsSeria #EcuadorianHillstarsSeria #SouthAmericanBirdsSeria #SouthAmericanAnimalsSeria #SouthAmericanHummingbirdsSeria #SouthAmericaHillstarsSeria #WhiteTailedHillstarsSeria #HillstarsSeria #HummingbirdsSeria . #14May2018seria #14MaySeria #2018MaySeria 2018TuesdaySeria TuesdayMaySeria (Ecuador Eco Birding)

It is found in humid foothill forest on the West Andean slope in western Colombia and north-western Ecuador. Its highly iridescent plumage is striking, being largely bluish-purple below and on the crown, greenish-blue on the back, green on the upperwing coverts, and rufous on the underwing coverts. In poor light it may appear all black, except for the strongly contrasting white outer rectrices. #VelvetPurpleCoronetsSeria #HummingbirdsSeria #CoronetsSeria #BirdsSeria #ColombianBirdsSeria #ColombianHummingbirdsSeria #ColombianAnimalsSeria #ColombianCoronetsSeria #SouthAmericanBirdsSeria #SouthAmericanHummingbirdsSeria #SoutbAmericanAnimalsSeria #SouthAmericanCoronetsSeria #10December2017Seria #10DecemberSeria #2017DecemberSeria #2017SundaySeria (Bogotá, Colombia)
