BRONZY HERMIT (Glaucis aeneus) & RUFOUS-BREASTED HERMIT (Glaucis hirsutus)
Hermit hummingbirds lack the brilliant metallic colours that are usually associated with hummingbirds. The male and female plumages do not show the strong sexual dimorphism either. They are understory species that are fairly shy and most often seen feeding from Heliconia flowers.
