Velvet-purple Coronet

Boissonneaua jardini

The velvet-purple coronet (Boissonneaua jardini) is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in humid foothill forest on the West Andean slope in western Colombia and north-western Ecuador. The species has a quirk of holding its wings straight up for a moment after perching. It generally breeds between January and March, but some have been spotted nesting as far off as September.
