The Versicoloured Emerald and Gilded Hummingbird can be distinguished primarily by their bill and tail coloration. The Versicoloured Emerald lacks the coral-red bill and golden-bronze tail that are characteristic of the Gilded Hummingbird.

Look for the coral-red bill and golden-bronze tail to identify the Gilded Hummingbird. The Versicoloured Emerald will not have these features.

The Versicoloured Emerald is a shining-green hummingbird, while the Gilded Hummingbird is iridescent golden-green with a distinctive coral-red, dark-tipped bill and a golden-bronze tail.
