Coeligena lutetiae
- 16.1 × 9.9 mm (estimated)
- Its colour follows its family (the eggs of all its relatives are alike); we haven't found a description of this species' own egg yet. Speculative: we haven't found documented measurements of this egg yet, so we estimated its size from related birds.
Breeds in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru
Plain white, as in all hummingbird eggs (we haven't found a description of this species' own egg yet).
