The Bicolored Conebill is a small, often overlooked species. Males are a dull blue-gray with a paler belly, while females are duller. It has a distinctive conical bill, typical of its genus.
Where to spot
Coastal mangroves, riverine forests, and humid lowland areas in parts of northern South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Guianas, northern Brazil) and some Caribbean islands.
How to spot
Look for it quietly foraging in the foliage of mangroves or along river edges. Its subtle coloration can make it challenging to spot, but its conical bill is diagnostic.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the day.

While not as flashy as many tanagers, its unique bill shape is adapted for piercing fruit and gleaning insects, and it often occurs in specialized mangrove habitats.
