Some of the garden's hummers are more subtly plumaged, but at least they are helpfully named--like this Buff-tailed Coronet, a relative of the Chestnut-breasted...
...or this Bronzy Inca, which really is bronzy. This species has a fairly narrow elevational range and has lost a fair amount of its habitat to deforestation, but it is able to feed in disturbed habitats as well, where its long bill is especially good for probing flowers of Fuchsia, Bomarea, Cavendishia, Centropogon, and Heliconia.
