The crimson-backed sunbird or small sunbird (Leptocoma minima) is the smallest sunbird of this country and is endemic to the Western Ghats of India.

Being small birds they may be killed by attack from insects like praying mantises. These birds are important pollinators of some plant species.

Resident in many areas, they may make altitudinal movements in response to rains. In some areas they move to the foothills during the monsoons and move to the higher regions after the rains.
