Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A rare and easily-overlooked bird restricted to wet foothill forest in the Andes of western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. Plumage is almost uniform yellow-olive with a slightly darker face; throat may appear slightly yellower, but never as bright as Yellow-throated Chlorospingus. Usually encountered in pairs or small groups at middle to upper forest levels, and sometimes joins mixed-species flocks.
