Rufous-booted racket-tail


The rufous-booted racket-tail is usually considered a species of hummingbird. It is found from central Peru to Bolivia. It is named in honour of Mrs Adda Wilson.
It previously was considered conspecific with the white-booted racket-tail and the Peruvian racket-tail, together called the booted racket-tail. In fact, many taxonomic authorities, including the American Ornithological Society, continue to lump the species together.
There is also some studies indicating a further split called the Anna's racket-tail, but more data is required for the species status.
