The Gilded Hummingbird is a plain-looking hummingbird with minimal differences between males and females, except that females are slightly less bright. Its feathers are mostly shiny green with a touch of gold, and it has a red bill with a dark tip, a small white spot near the eye, and a bronze-gold tail. It is mainly found in one place but sometimes migrates to Mato Grosso in Brazil, although we don't know much about its movements yet.
