The Chestnut-vented Conebill is a small, blue-gray conebill with a distinctive rufous or chestnut patch on its undertail coverts (vent). It is a widespread resident of various forest habitats.
Where to spot
Widespread across South America, primarily east of the Andes, from Colombia and Venezuela south to Argentina and Paraguay. Found in forest edges, gallery forests, and scrubland.
How to spot
Look for it foraging in the mid-canopy or lower levels, often with mixed-species flocks. The chestnut vent is a key identifying feature, though sometimes hard to see.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day.

The hidden chestnut vent provides a flash of color that can be seen as the bird moves or takes flight, giving it its common name.
