Spotted
The Golden-rumped Euphonia is a small, colorful finch characterized by the male's glossy blue-black plumage with bright yellow on the belly and a distinctive golden-orange rump. Females are duller, olive-green.
Where to spot
Widespread in the humid lowlands and foothills of the Amazon Basin and adjacent areas in South America, including Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil.
How to spot
Look for this euphonia in fruiting trees and the canopy of humid forests, forest edges, and clearings. The male's golden rump and yellow belly contrasting with its dark upperparts are key. Listen for its high-pitched, buzzy, and often simple calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range. Most active during the day, especially in the mornings, when it forages for fruits in the canopy.

Its 'golden rump' is a prominent flash of color, particularly noticeable in flight, making it a reliable field mark for identification.
