The Chilean Woodstar is a small hummingbird found in Chile and Peru. Males have olive-green upperparts, white underparts, and an iridescent violet-red throat, and feed on flower nectar.
It is very small and has a short black bill. Males have olive upperparts, white underparts, and an iridescent violet-red throat. Females have buff underparts and lack the male's bright throat color.
BirdLife's 1992 account records it perching hidden in shrubs and taking nectar from lantana and hibiscus flowers.
