Haplophaedia lugens

- 56 km/h
- Hampir terancam
White fluffy leg puffs like tiny clouds on a hummingbird. Found in the Andes of Colombia and Ecuador. Near Threatened.
- Populasi
- Global population size not quantified; described as "fairly common", with an estimated 2-100 subpopulations. The population trend is suspected STABLE — tree cover within the range is being lost slowly (<2% over ten years), and this low current habitat-loss rate is suspected not to be significantly affecting the population.
- Habitat
- Very wet premontane to montane evergreen cloudforest, forest borders, and (secondarily, less preferred) scrubland/second growth on the Pacific slope of the Andes; favors low, dense vegetation near streams, forest clearings, and ridges. Typical elevation 1,200–2,000 m, with occasional records down to 440 m or up to 2,710 m.
- Fakta menarik
- Males sport distinctive fluffy white "puffs" on their legs with chestnut interiors — the trait that gives the puffleg group of hummingbirds its name.
- Sebaran
- Narrow band on the Pacific slope of the Andes from southwestern Colombia (Nariño department) south into northwestern Ecuador (Pichincha/Santo Domingo province), roughly 1,200–2,500 m elevation overall (Colombia 1,200–2,500 m; Ecuador 1,525–2,100 m). Extent of occurrence approximately 12,200 km²; area of occupancy approximately 7,800 km². Year-round resident, non-migratory.
