Legend Overview
Introduction
One of the most widespread of its genus, the White-vented Euphonia is found in tropical forest, including seasonally flooded areas, from Mexico south to Bolivia; in South America, it is mainly found east of the Andes. The White-vented Euphonia is mainly a canopy species, although it does occasionally venture into semi-open areas. Like a great many euphonias, the male is mainly blue-black above with a small yellow forehead patch, which reaches to just in front of the eye, and a blackish throat, with the rest of the underparts yellow, except the white lower belly and undertail coverts. Females are olive above, with a grayish-white throat, olive-yellow breast band and flanks, and whitish ventral region.
