Photo of the Day – The Purple-throated Woodstar (Calliphlox mitchellii) is one of four species in its genus. This particular species is found in parts of Colombia and Ecuador, where it inhabits humid and wet forests, forest edges and clearings with trees. The male adorns this species’ stunning namesake, but in the field there are times when the throat will look almost completely black.Thankfully, this beauty was photographed by Dušan Brinkhuizen in perfect conditions in northern Ecuador. -- source link
