INDIGO FLOWERPIERCER Diglossa indigotica. A very rare Indigo Flowerpiercer was observed piercing the large red and white flowers of Cavendishia tarapotana, family Ericaceae at the Amagusa Reserve along the Mashpi Road to the north of Pacto and La Delicia in northwestern Ecuador at 8:40 AM on October 4, 2018.
