The Volet-tailed Sylph (Aglaiocercus coelestis) is a species of hummingbird.which lives in areas from 300–2,100 metres (980–6,890 ft) in elevation, though typically above 900 metres (3,000 ft) on the west slope of the Andes.
I may not go in much for “selfies” but I am more than happy to take “sylphies”!
They are found in Ecuador & Colombia. Probably the most easily accessed locations to eco-tourists would be the hummingbird feeders at lodges in the Mindo area. I took these photos at Sachatamia Lodge.

This clip stands out for not being on a feeder.
In this clip you can see the Sylph with other hummingbirds at one of the Sachatamia feeders.
