A mostly light-brown hummingbird perches at a lean outward from a flower stem. The hummingbird's breast and throat are speckled with green, iridescent in areas where the light hits it just right; it has a dark-brown stripe through its eye and a green cap. The plant has small purple flowers.

Speckled Hummingbird (Adelomyia melanogenys), Guaycapi Lodge, Pichincha, Ecuador. October 2025.
