Widespread across humid lowland and foothill forests from southern Mexico south through Central and South America to Bolivia and southern Brazil.
How to spot
Look for it actively feeding on nectar or fruit. The male's black mask and unique bill shape are excellent identification points.

Its strongly decurved bill is perfectly adapted for probing deep into flowers to extract nectar, making it a key pollinator for many plant species.
