"Spathura solstitialis" is a hummingbird species from the Trochilidae family, commonly known as the Fiery-tailed Awlbill. The species was described by the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould in the 19th century. Gould, renowned for his detailed and vividly colored illustrations of birds, contributed significantly to the ornithological knowledge of his time through his works, including "A Monograph of the Trochilidae, or Family of Humming-Birds" (1849–1861).

The species is native to the northern regions of South America, where it inhabits subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The "Spathura solstitialis" is characterized by its distinctive fiery-colored tail, a feature that likely inspired its common name and the attention of Gould, who had a particular interest in hummingbirds.

As an ornithologist, Gould's work was not only artistic but also scientific. His descriptions and illustrations of birds like the "Spathura solstitialis" were based on specimens he studied, often collected during expeditions or provided by other naturalists of the era. Gould's contributions to the field were substantial, and his works remain valuable to both ornithologists and art enthusiasts.

The introduction of "Spathura solstitialis" by John Gould to the scientific community through his illustrations and descriptions played a role in the broader understanding and appreciation of hummingbird diversity. His legacy continues to influence the fields of ornithology, natural history illustration, and the conservation of avian biodiversity.
