Spotted
The Fulvous-vented Euphonia is a small, compact finch, distinguished by the male's glossy blue-black upperparts and bright yellow underparts with a prominent fulvous (tawny-orange) vent. Females are duller.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland forests and forest edges of Central America, from northern Honduras south through Costa Rica to northern Colombia.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of humid forests and forest edges. The male's bright yellow belly with the contrasting fulvous vent is unmistakable. Listen for its high-pitched, clear, and often somewhat buzzy calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when they are actively foraging for small fruits in the canopy.

The striking fulvous vent is a distinct and easily observable field mark, making it one of the more straightforward euphonias to identify in its range.
