Habitat:
It is an altitudinal migrant inhabiting humid forest borders at 1,200-1,800 m (Hilty and Brown 1986, L. G. Olarte and M. Pearman per P. G. W. Salaman in litt. 1998, 1999 and verbally 2000) during the dry season (February-May), when it feeds particularly on banana flowers in shade coffee plantations, while in the wet season (June-October) it is found in open páramo up to the snowline at 4,800 m (Hilty and Brown 1986, Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990).
Range:
Campylopterus phainopeplus is endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, north-east Colombia. Whilst it was described as 'fairly common' at the beginning of the 20th century, since 1946 it is has been recorded only once in 2010 in the El Dorado Reserve in the northwestern part of the massif (Butler 2010, Fundación ProAves in litt. 2020).
Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
CITES Appendix II. The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is protected by two national designations and is an international Biosphere Reserve (L. G. Olarte and M. Pearman per P. G. W. Salaman in litt. 1998, 1999 and verbally 2000), but this has not conserved the massif's ecosystems effectively. The species also occurs in ProAves's El Dorado Bird Reserve.Conservation Actions Proposed
Conduct surveys to locate remaining individuals. Quantify the population size. Assess the population trend. Protect effectively areas harbouring remaining populations. Work with local communities and regional institutions to identify and prioritise conservation and management strategies.
