  56. Loja Hummingbird  (*) (ph)  _____  W,po  
     Amazilia (amazilia) alticola
    Amazilia (amazilia) azuay

         The Loja Hummingbird has been considered as part of the Amazilia Hummingbird (above), and by most authorities it still is.

    What has until recently been considered an undescribed subspecies (noted below) compounds the story. 
    Now, that subspecies is Amazilia (amazilia) azuay, with a whiter belly that other subspecies of the Amazilia (including the Loja) Hummingbird.  

     The geographic range of the "Loja Hummingbird", Amazilia (amazilia) alticola, is in southern Ecuador.
    It has a mostly rufous tail, although the central pair of rectrices are bronzy green above, sometimes making the tail, when viewed from above, appear green. 

    The bird in the photograph below is what was said in "The Birds of Ecuador" by Robert Ridgely and Paul Greenfield to be an undescribed race in the southern Azuay province, 
    Now it is Amazilia (amazilia) azuay. 
    It is with mainly white underparts, and with rufous confined to limited amount on the flanks.
    It differs from the Amazilia Hummingbird, Amazilia amazilia, and the Loja Hummingbird, Amazilia (amazilia) alticola, by is having upper tail coverts mostly rufous, and seemingly having a less extensive reddish pink bill coloration.
    The bird in the photo below was one of a few seen at the same site during the FONT Ecuador Tour in April 2014.

    Eriocnemis nigrivestis 

         The Black-breasted Puffleg was described in 1852, from Tumbasco in Ecuador. At that time, it was seemingly quite common as over 100 specimens went into museums. 
    More recently, the species was not seen from 1950 to 1980 when 3 were found. It was not until 1993 that it was located with some regularity on isolated forest ridges at Yanacocha on the slopes of Volcan Pichincha near Quito. Apparently the bird is not a resident there as it is absent between February and November, when it is believed to migrate to lower altitudes in search of flowering food plants.
    Charcoal production and slash-and-burn agriculture still threatens the very small population of the Black-breasted Puffleg in its restricted range. 

    The Black-breasted Puffleg has been classified as a critically endangered species in Ecuador.
