The dot-eared coquette (Lophornis gouldii) is a species of hummingbird in the "coquettes", tribe Lesbiini of subfamily Lesbiinae. It is found in Bolivia and Brazil. The dot-eared coquette is monotypic. The dot-eared coquette is 6.8 to 7.6 cm (2.7 to 3.0 in) long and weighs 2.4 to 2.8 g (0.085 to 0.099 oz). Both sexes have a short, straight, black-tipped red bill. The adult male's forehead is glittering golden green. Long dark rufous feathers on its crown form a crest. Its upperparts are bronzy green with a white band across the rump. Its throat is glittering emerald green. Long white feathers with shiny green dots make tufts that fan out and back on the cheeks. Its underparts are grayish green. Its central tail feathers are bronzy green and the rest rufous with bronzy green tips and edges. The adult female does not have the male's crest or cheek tufts. Its upperparts are colored like the male's but with a bronzy iridescence. Its throat is rufous with a grayish green lower border. Its tail is bronze with rufous tips. Juveniles are similar to the adult female.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dot-eared Coquette sighting in Chapada dos Guimarães National Park on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 166th most-seen of the 273 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dot-eared Coquette in Chapada dos Guimarães National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May, July–August and November–January, the lowest months. Those are among Chapada dos Guimarães National Park's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain a month against 240 mm in March. February to April have too few records to rate.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dot-eared Coquette sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Chapada dos Guimarães National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dot-eared Coquette is recorded against all the birds logged in Chapada dos Guimarães National Park (34 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
