The green-tailed trainbearer (Lesbia nuna) is a species of hummingbird in the "coquettes", tribe Lesbiini of subfamily Lesbiinae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and possibly Venezuela. The taxonomy of the green-tailed trainbearer is not settled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) recognizes these six subspecies:
Though the green-tailed trainbearer shares its genus with the black-tailed trainbearer (L. victoriae), they might not be especially closely related. All of the subspecies except the nominate (and boliviana) have at various times been suggested as separate species. Two additional subspecies have been proposed as well, but the weight of evidence is that they are hybrids of the two trainbearers.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green-tailed Trainbearer sighting in Bogota on a given day, based on 369 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 66th most-seen of the 231 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.
January, April–May, August and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green-tailed Trainbearer in Bogota on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, June–July, September and December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green-tailed Trainbearer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Green-tailed Trainbearer sightings, Bogota ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Quito (Ecuador, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-tailed Trainbearer is recorded against all the birds logged in Bogota (369 verified sightings), 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.
