A hummingbird on a branch in profile is displaying with wings open wide. The violet earflap is flying back from the head. The throat and breast are iridescent turquoise. The belly is the same shade of violet as the earflap. This is the Sparkling Violetear caught at the perfect angle to show off its flashy field marks. Photo by Peachfront. Huembo, Peru. Nov 2024.
