Hi andean 8, I cant help you as I don't know Ecuadorian birds but anyone who does may need more information such as behaviour, shape of beak, any colours other than gray, tail shape & length, altitude of the sighting, habitat, size compared to other common birds, etc..

Habitat was foggy in a semi forest hopping on my back yard searching for food and i estimate it was the size of a dove. It was similiar to a chacalaca.

Ohhh and it was at quito, san antonio on a mountain called la marca

Which one? ...there are quite a few tropical hummingbirds...

 

[Tired]

Hummingbirds are very small, and don't hop on the ground. They can't walk. They just fly up to food and hover or perch next to it.
