The Pale-naped Brushfinch is a distinctive bird of the Andes, recognized by its pale, often whitish, nape and dark cap. It is a secretive inhabitant of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in the Andes from Venezuela south through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and into Bolivia. It inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and dense secondary growth, particularly in bamboo thickets at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its pale nape contrasting with its dark crown, and often a rufous stripe above the eye. It typically forages low in dense vegetation. Listen for its clear, whistled song, often a series of repeated notes.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
