The Frilled Coquette is a very small hummingbird species endemic to central Brazil. It measures about 3.5 inches (9 cm) in length. A male weighs between 2.7 and 3 grams, whereas a female can weigh up to 3.5 grams.

Their chests and lower bodies are gray and green. They have a white bar across the rump, like other croquettes. They have an orange crest, a ruffle of white and green feathers on their neck, and a red bill with a black tip. There is no crest or orange bill on females, and their bellies are white with spotted throats. The species is found on forest edges, in second-growth habitats, and wooded savannas.
