Spotted
A beautiful cotinga species found in the montane cloud forests of the Andes. Males boast a glossy black head and back contrasting with a bright green body and a striking yellow breast band.
Where to spot
Humid montane cloud forests and forest edges in the Andes, from northern Venezuela through Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story and subcanopy of humid forests. Listen for their soft, high-pitched whistles and sharp 'chip' calls, which can help in locating them.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best sought during the early morning hours when they are most active feeding.

Despite their vibrant coloration, fruiteaters can be elusive, often perching silently for long periods before making quick, darting flights to snatch berries.
