The rufous-booted racket-tail (Ocreatus addae) is usually considered a species of hummingbird. It is found from central Peru to Bolivia.[1] It is named in honour of Mrs Adda Wilson.[2]


It previously was considered conspecific with the white-booted racket-tail and the Peruvian racket-tail, together called the booted racket-tail. In fact, many taxonomic authorities, including the American Ornithological Society, continue to lump the species together.

There is also some studies indicating a further split called the Anna's racket-tail, but more data is required for the species status.[3]
