The Beautiful Chlorospingus is a small, attractive bird of humid montane and cloud forests, distinguished by its vibrant green plumage and often yellow facial markings. While formerly placed with tanagers, it is now considered a tyrant flycatcher.
Where to spot

How to spot
Look for its bright green plumage and yellow facial features. It often forages in the mid-story to canopy of cloud forests, gleaning insects from foliage. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its specialized high-altitude habitat. Active throughout the day, often joining mixed-species flocks.
