Mauricio Rueda sent us six photos from Colombia of the enigmatic Bogota Sunangel (Heliangelus zusii), known only from a single specimen from 1909. Until now the validity of this species has been questioned and some authorities considered it of hybrid origin.
For the moment no specimen has been captured, but the images compared with the type specimen are very convincing.
