Rufous Sabrewing Pampa rufa Scientific name definitions

The Rufous Sabrewing is restricted to the highlands of northern Central America where it is most abundant above 1,300 meters above sea level. It frequents the interior and edge of rainforests and is also found in plantations, partially wooded canyons, and humid pine-oak forests. These hummingbirds are most active at lower levels, especially in the dense understory and in partially open areas. Both sexes are similar and possess cinnamon-colored underparts. The species is classified as Least Concern by BirdLife International, but the population might be declining.
