The Cinereous Conebill is a small, subtly colored tanager characterized by its slender, pointed bill. It typically inhabits high-altitude Andean environments where it forages for nectar and small insects.
Where to spot
High Andes of Peru and Bolivia, found in scrublands, Polylepis woodlands, and agricultural areas, typically at elevations between 2,800 and 4,500 meters.
How to spot
Look for it foraging on flowering plants or among small shrubs. Its relatively plain gray plumage can make it blend into the environment, so listen for its quiet calls and watch for movement in sparse vegetation.
When to spot
Year-round within its range, with peak activity during the morning hours when it forages most actively.

Despite its generally plain plumage, the Cinereous Conebill plays an important ecological role as a pollinator in its Andean habitat, thanks to its specialized bill adapted for reaching nectar.
