The Hooded Mountain Tanager is a large and robust tanager with a black 'hood' and yellow underparts. It is a common inhabitant of high-altitude forests.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid montane forests and cloud forests, typically at high elevations in the Andes.
How to spot
Look for it in the canopy and mid-story of montane forests. Its size and contrasting black hood and yellow belly make it quite conspicuous.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most visible in the early morning as it forages high in the trees.
