The violet-capped woodnymph is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in forest, dense woodland, gardens and parks in south-eastern Brazil, eastern Paraguay, Uruguay, and far north-eastern Argentina. It is widespread and generally common, and therefore considered to be of Least Concern by BirdLife International. Source: Wikipedia
