| Standard hermits (genus Phaethornis) are brown (a few are green) hummingbirds with a long central tail feather, that stay almost exclusively in the forest understory. Most species only perch at a lek or a nest. Nests are made with a lot of spider webs. All species have red or yellow on the lower part of the bill. |
