The little red brocket, called Andinocervus rufinus in current usage and Mazama rufina in older lists, is a small and little-studied deer of the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador and northern Peru. It is also known as the swamp brocket or the Ecuador red brocket. It lives in forest and paramo at altitudes of about 1,400 to 3,600 metres and is one of the smallest brocket deer. Its coat is reddish, with blackish legs and crown. It was previously placed in the genus Mazama, and as recently as 1999 some authorities treated both the pygmy brocket and the Merida brocket as subspecies of it. Remains suggest that it may have formed an important part of the diet of the people of the Pleistocene Las Vegas culture.
