Spangled Coquette Southern Ecuador Pablo Andrade

Spangled Coquette, Lophornis stictolophus, drawn by Pablo Andrade.

Among the many hummingbirds that inhabit the tropical forests, here is another gem you can spot in southern Ecuador. The male, with its striking rufous crest, is truly fascinating.

If you enjoy bird art and paintings, you can admire many illustrations by Pablo Andrade at the Casona Cultural del Municipio in the city of Loja.
