A white-bellied woodstar and a booted racket-tail hummingbird

A white-bellied woodstar (Chaetocercus mulsant) and a booted racket-tail hummingbird (Ocreatus underwoodii) share feeding from a flower. The woodstars are one of the smallest hummingbirds, and have flight patterns simlar to bees, therefore the other hummingbirds do not bother them as they would one of the same species.
