Comments: The Tufted Coquette is neither the most common nor the rarest Hummingbird species found in Trinidad. It is most often found at edge habitats where forest gives way to clearing, particularly in the Northern Range. The species is not found on Tobago.

Tufted Coquette is Trinidad's smallest hummingbird species, and is often mistaken for a large insect.
