Spotted
The Dusky-headed Brushfinch is a rather plain-looking bird with an overall dusky-olive plumage and a slightly darker crown. It is a shy inhabitant of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of southern Ecuador and northern Peru. It inhabits dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and forest edges, typically at mid-elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive song. Look for its uniform dusky-olive plumage, lacking strong markings. It typically forages quietly on the ground or in low vegetation within dense forest.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon.
Despite its drab appearance, this brushfinch has a sweet, clear song that is often heard in the dense understory of its cloud forest habitat.
