The Green-striped Sparrow is a distinctive passerine with a unique green wash on its plumage and prominent black facial stripes. It is a ground-foraging bird of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in the northern Andes, primarily in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and dense secondary growth, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive vocalizations, which include a series of clear, ringing notes. Look for it foraging in leaf litter on the forest floor. Key identification features are its greenish plumage, white belly, and bold black stripes on its face and crown.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, observable year-round. Best seen in the early morning when it is most active.
