Señalado al principio por Leandro Castillo pues a primera vista se pierde entre los Hylocharis chrysura. Combativo incluso teniendo flores libres en el libador. Posa poco y el regular en cuanto al libador y tiempo de libar. Luego de observarlo bien se lo identifica fácilmente notando claramente los ápices blancos de la cola y de acuerdo a su posición, la mancha ocre desde la Garganta angostandose hacia la región pectoral.
