Indigo-capped hummingbird


The indigo-capped hummingbird, sometimes placed in the genus Saucerottia, is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae.
It is currently found only in Colombia. A turquoise-capped form known only from the Miravalles Volcano in Costa Rica may represent a separate subspecies or even species, the Miravalles or Alfaro's hummingbird, but its exact status is difficult to judge
