Identification

Similar Species

Easily confused with male White-sided Flowerpiercer or Glossy Flowerpiercer. Former is more slaty and has white flanks; latter has a greyish-blue shoulder-patch. It's more difficult in parts of Colombia where the Black Flowerpiercer has a greyish-blue shoulder-patch (as in Glossy).
