Paramo hummingbird from Colombia - Puffleg? (1 Viewer)

Hello!

I just unearthed these 2 misidentified photos of a hummer from a trip to Colombia in June 4 years ago, and I was wondering if you could help me out with its ID.

I saw it just above the tree line at about 3500 masl, in a small clump of bushes among the paramo de Romerales. That is on the edge of the Quindio department, east of Salento, going up from the valle de Cocora and Estrella de Agua.

Best I can think of is a puffleg, maybe golden-breasted?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Thibaud
