Spotted
The Rufous-bellied Euphonia is a small, colorful finch known for the male's glossy blue-black upperparts and a striking rufous (reddish-brown) belly. Females are duller, olive-green.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland and foothill forests of the Amazon Basin, including Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. It prefers the canopy and mid-story of mature forests.
How to spot
Look for this euphonia in fruiting trees and the canopy of humid forests and edges. The male's rufous belly against its dark upperparts is the key identifier. Listen for its high-pitched, often buzzy, and somewhat simple calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range. Most active during the day, especially in the mornings, when it forages for fruits in the canopy.
