Geoffroy's daggerbill, Geoffroy's wedgebill, or eastern wedge-billed hummingbird (Schistes geoffroyi) is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
Geoffroy's daggerbill has often been considered conspecific with what is now the only other member of its genus, the white-throated daggerbill (S. albogularis), under the name "wedge-billed hummingbird". The South American Classification Committee (SACC) of the American Ornithological Society split them in June 2018 and the International Ornithological Committee (IOC), the Clements taxonomy, and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) followed suit. Later all of them except HBW adopted the "daggerbill" English name; HBW uses the name "eastern wedge-billed hummingbird". Some authors have suggested that the genus be merged into that of the visorbearers, Augastes.
Geoffroy's daggerbill is 8.6 to 9.3 cm (3.4 to 3.7 in) long and weighs 3.5 to 4.1 g (0.12 to 0.14 oz). It gets its name from the tip of its bill... Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Geoffroy's Wedgebill sighting in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 193rd most-seen of the 358 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and August–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Geoffroy's Wedgebill in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and November–March, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Geoffroy's Wedgebill sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Henri Pittier National Park, in our data
Henri Pittier National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Geoffroy's Wedgebill sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Geoffroy's Wedgebill is recorded against all the birds logged in Henri Pittier National Park (25 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.
