Finsch's Euphonia is a small, attractive finch found in northern South America. Males have glossy blue-black upperparts, a yellow forehead, and bright yellow underparts. Females are duller green.
Where to spot
Inhabits the humid lowlands and foothills of the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana) and parts of eastern Venezuela and northern Brazil. It prefers forest edges, clearings, and plantations.
How to spot
Look for this bird in the mid-story and canopy of open woodlands and forest edges, especially where fruiting trees are present. The male's yellow forehead and black and yellow body are distinct. Listen for its high-pitched, short, and varied calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, observable year-round. Best seen in the early morning or late afternoon when foraging activity is highest.

This euphonia is sometimes observed foraging on the ground for fallen berries, a behavior less typical of its arboreal relatives.
