The Little Red Brocket (Mazama rufina), also known as the Ecuador Red Brocket,^[2] is a small, little-studied deer native to the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador and northern Peru, where found in forest and páramo at altitudes between 1,400 and 3,600 metres (4,600 and 11,800 ft).^[1] It is one of the smallest brocket deer. The coat is reddish, and the legs and crown are blackish.^[3] As recently as 1999, some authorities included both the Pygmy Brocket (M. nana) and Merida Brocket (M. bricenii) as subspecies of the Little Red Brocket.^[4]

The Little Red Brocket may have formed an important part of the diet of the people of the Pleistocene Las Vegas culture.^[5]
