Eriocnemis vestitus (Glowing Puff-Leg)

John Gould,

Three hummingbirds are around a pink cactus flower. The birds have green bodies with blue and brown patches. The flower has pink petals with a yellow center, and the cactus has green with orange spikes. The background is a blend of pastel blues and whites. One hummingbird is on the flower, while two hover nearby with blurred wings, all positioned centrally.
