The Chestnut-breasted Chlorophonia is a small, vibrant finch characterized by its glossy green upperparts, bright yellow underparts, and a distinctive chestnut band across its breast. It is found in humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests along the Andes, from Venezuela and Colombia, south through Ecuador, Peru, and into northern Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for this colorful bird in the mid to upper canopy of humid montane forests, often in mixed-species flocks. The chestnut breast band is a key field mark. Listen for its high-pitched, soft, and somewhat musical calls.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when individuals are most active, foraging in the forest canopy.

This species, like many other chlorophonias, plays a vital ecological role in its forest habitat by dispersing the seeds of various fruit-bearing plants.
