Animalia > Chordata > Aves > Apodiformes > Trochilidae > Coeligena > Coeligena orinaCoeligena orina (Dusky Starfrontlet)Synonyms: Coeligena bonapartei orina The dusky starfrontlet (Coeligena orina) is a hummingbird species in the subfamily Trochilinae.It is found only at high altitudes in the Cordillera Occidental of Colombia, and was first discovered on Páramo de Frontino. Its status was mysterious for a long time as it was only known from a few museum specimens; it was often held to be a mutant or color morph of some other species of Coeligena. When it was rediscovered in 2004, in what is now the Colibri del Sol Bird Reserve, its status as a distinct species was confirmed. |
