It is currently found only in Colombia. A turquoise-capped form known only from the Miravalles Volcano in Costa Rica may represent a separate subspecies or even species, the Miravalles or Alfaro's hummingbird (Amazilia alfaroana), but its exact status is difficult to judge, as there are no recent records and it is likely to be extinct.
