The '''booted racket-tails''' are a small group of [[hummingbird]]s in the genus '''''Ocreatus''''' that was long considered to have only one species, ''O. underwoodii''. Field research by Karl-L. Schuchmann published in 2016, however, found notable differences between some populations traditionally assigned to ''O. underwoodii'', and recommended that the taxa ''annae'', ''addae'', and ''peruanus'' be raised to species level.<ref>{{cite journal | title=Biogeography and taxonomy of racket-tail hummingbirds (Aves: Trochilidae: Ocreatus): Evidence for species delimitation from morphology and display behavior | journal=Zootaxa | volume=4200 | issue=1 | pages=83 | doi= 10.11646/zootaxa.4200.1.3 | pmid=27988640 | url= https://www.researchgate.net/publication/311004563| year=2016 | last1=Schuchmann | first1=Karl-L. | last2=Weller | first2=André-A. | last3=Jürgens | first3=Dietmar }}</ref> The research results have been mostly accepted by the [[International Ornithological Union]], with more data required for the species status of Anna's racket-tail.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.worldbirdnames.org/updates/proposed-splits/ | title=Proposed Splits/Lumps « IOC World Bird List}}</ref> T heThe [[American Ornithological Society]] has yet to recognize the split.
