Spotted
The Greenish Yellow Finch is a subtly colored species, less vibrantly yellow than its relatives, with an olive-greenish wash. It is found in the dry high-Andean regions.
Where to spot
Dry puna grasslands, rocky slopes, and arid scrub of the Andes, from Peru south through Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, typically between 2,000 and 4,500 meters.
How to spot
Look for its duller, olive-tinged yellow plumage. It forages primarily on the ground. Differentiate it from brighter yellow finches by its muted coloration and preference for dry, rocky habitats.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best seen during daylight hours when actively feeding, especially in sunny conditions.

Its subdued coloration provides excellent camouflage against the often rocky and sparsely vegetated high-altitude environment it inhabits, making it blend seamlessly with its surroundings.
