Ecuadorian hummingbird identification

[Jason R. Grant]

After the great success in the identification of Ecuadorian moths a few
months ago, I'm wondering if the same success could be made with a
hummingbird?

On the website, click COLIBRIS at the bottom of the page.

http://www.ekuador.ch/macrocarpaea/

There are two photographs of a hummingbird visiting/ pollinating?
Macrocarpaea sodiroana (Gentianaceae).  The corolla is about 2-3 cm wide.
Photos were taken at the Maquipucuna forest reserve, Pichincha, Ecuador.
The red threads behind the flowers mark open flowers.

Any ideas as to genus and species would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
Jason
