Colorful Puffleg (Eriocnemis mirabilis)
About the Colorful Puffleg
The colorful puffleg (Eriocnemis mirabilis) is an Endangered species of hummingbird in the "brilliants", tribe Heliantheini in subfamily Lesbiinae. It is endemic to Colombia. The colorful puffleg is monotypic. It is closely related to the emerald-bellied puffleg (E. aline) and they have variously been deemed sister species or a superspecies. However, one author has suggested that because their plumage is so different from that of other Eriocnemis pufflegs that they should have their own genus.
