Chestnut-bellied Hummingbird Nestling
Saucerottia castaneiventris (nestling)
This helpless nestling remains in a tiny cup nest in humid Colombian forest or at a shaded forest edge. It is fed nectar and tiny insects brought by its mother, spending most of its time begging and conserving warmth. Its sparse down and short developing bill distinguish it from the fully feathered stages.
