The Golden-fronted Greenlet is a small, attractive Neotropical songbird, distinguished by its golden-yellow forehead and olive-green body. It is an active insectivore, often found gleaning prey from foliage in the mid-story.
Where to spot
Found in northern South America, including parts of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. It inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests.
How to spot
Look for its golden-yellow forehead. Listen for its characteristic, often repetitive, rapid songs and calls. Scan the mid-story of humid forests, as it can be easily overlooked despite its bright head.
When to spot
Active year-round in its resident tropical lowland habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed in the early morning.

Its bright forehead coloration provides a distinct field mark, especially useful for separating it from other similar greenlet species in its range.
