Apparently not often encountered because BirdPhotos.com is number two in Google for the term "Blue-headed Sapphire". I only saw the bird once during a day at a private feeder near Cali, Colombia.
(Delattre & Bourcier, 1846): NOTE(TAX,PHY: Blue-headed Sapphire is transferred from Hylocharis to Chrysuronia based on phylogeny (McGuire et al. 2014; Stiles et al. 2017b; SACC 781).)
