Purple-bibbed whitetip
The purple-bibbed whitetip (Urosticte benjamini) is a species of hummingbird. It is native to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.[1] Little is known about the species due to it rarely foraging in the open - in search for insects and small flowers.[2] Nesting is made from foliage such as moss and ferns, usually along steep ravines.[2]
