Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A small bird of montane forest canopy. Olive upperparts with 2 rows of yellow spots down the back of the wing. Male is strangely titlike, with a yellow belly, black cap, bib and a large yellow cheek patch bordered with black. Female has a gray throat, chest and a scaled belly. Male is unmistakable but female could be mistaken for one of the many small olive birds that co-occur. Note the scaly belly and yellow spots on the back of the wing. Call, a high-pitch, somewhat raspy, downslurred “tsiiii!”.
