Andean Emerald    
 

A common bird at the feeders, and easily recognized by being all white below. The crown is shining turquoise when seen head-on. Female Booted Racket-tails are also white below, but they are speckled, much smaller, and have a white moustache. Young Andean Emeralds have more speckling on the throat, but still maintain the white lower belly.
