Spotted
The Plumbeous Euphonia is a small, predominantly greyish-blue finch with a yellow crown patch. It is found in humid lowlands and foothill forests of the Guianas and northern Brazil, often in the canopy.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland and foothill forests, forest edges, and plantations in French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and parts of northeastern Brazil.
How to spot
Look for this small, active bird high in the forest canopy. The male's bluish-grey plumage with a small yellow crown patch is diagnostic. Listen for its high-pitched, slightly buzzing calls, which often give away its presence.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon as they move through the forest canopy, foraging for fruits.

Its name 'plumbeous' refers to its lead-grey (bluish-grey) plumage, which is quite distinct from the more vibrant colors of many other euphonia species.
