Spotted
The Fulvous-headed Brushfinch is a strikingly marked bird of the Andes, characterized by its rich fulvous (tawny-orange) head and contrasting black body. It is a rare and localized species.
Where to spot
Endemic to a very restricted area in the humid montane forests of southeastern Ecuador. It inhabits dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets at mid-elevations.
How to spot
Requires targeted expeditions to its specific highland habitat. Look for its entirely fulvous head, which is highly diagnostic, contrasting with a dusky olive body. Listen for its vocalizations, which aid in location.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its limited range. Best observed during early morning when it is most active and vocal.

Its uniquely colored head makes it instantly recognizable among other brushfinch species, even from a distance.
