Found in the Chocó region of western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. It inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests, dense secondary growth, and forest edges, typically at lower elevations.
How to spot
Look for its solid black head and contrasting white throat, which extends down the breast. It forages primarily on the ground or in low vegetation. Listen for its distinctive song, often a series of high-pitched whistles.

Resident year-round within its range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
This brushfinch is part of a complex of species, with some authorities considering it a separate species from similar-looking brushfinches found in the Andes.
