Spotted
The Plushcap is a unique and distinctive bird, notable for its fluffy, bright rufous-orange forehead and crown, which resembles a velvet cap. Its body is slate-gray.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes, from Venezuela south to Bolivia, typically at mid-to-high elevations.
How to spot
Look for it quietly foraging in the dense understory or bamboo thickets. Its distinctive cap is the most obvious identification feature, but it can be shy.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon.
