Spotted
The Paria Brushfinch is a distinctive sparrow species characterized by its black head and a striking white crown stripe. It is an inhabitant of the dense understory in montane forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Paria Peninsula in northeastern Venezuela, residing in humid montane forests and cloud forests, typically at higher elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic song, which helps distinguish it from similar species in the genus. Look for it foraging on or near the ground in dense vegetation. Its black head with a prominent white central crown stripe is the most distinguishing feature.
When to spot
It is a resident species, observable throughout the year. Activity peaks in the early morning and late afternoon.
This species was formerly considered a subspecies of the Band-backed Sparrow, but genetic studies have recognized it as a distinct species due to its unique vocalizations and isolated range.
