Longuemare's sunangel (Heliangelus clarisse) is a species of hummingbird in the "coquettes", tribe Lesbiini of subfamily Lesbiinae. It is found in Colombia and Venezuela. Longuemare's sunangel was formally described in 1841 by the French ornithologist Agathe François Gouÿe de Longuemare under the binomial name Ornismya clarrisse. He chose the specific epithet to honour Clarisse Parzudaki née Moreuil (1807-1884) wife of French naturalist Charles Parzudaki. Longuemare's sunangel is now one of nine species placed in the genus Heliangelus that was introduced in 1848 by the English ornithologist John Gould. It has sometimes been considered as a subspecies of the amethyst-throated sunangel (Heliangelus amethysticollis).
Three subspecies are recognised: Longuemare's sunangel is 9 to 10 cm (3.5 to 3.9 in) long and weighs 5.0 to 6.0 g (0.18 to 0.21... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Longuemare's Amethyst-throated Sunangel sighting in Bogota on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 205th most-seen of the 231 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Longuemare's Amethyst-throated Sunangel in Bogota on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Longuemare's Amethyst-throated Sunangel sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Bogota, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Longuemare's Amethyst-throated Sunangel is recorded against all the birds logged in Bogota (11 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.
