The Ludwig’s Double-collared Sunbird or Montane Double-collared Sunbird, Cinnyris ludovicensis (sometimes placed in the genus Nectarinia), is a small passerine bird which breeds in forested mountains above 1800 m in western Angola.
Its flight is fast and direct on short wings. It lives mainly on nectar from flowers, but takes some fruit, and, especially when feeding young, insects and spiders.. It can take nectar by hovering like a hummingbird, but usually perches to feed most of the time.
