How to spot
Look for its bright yellow belly, olive back, and subtle rusty edgings on the wing and tail feathers. It has a black eye-stripe and a hidden yellow crown patch. Listen for its distinctive, often rapid, chattering calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active during the morning and late afternoon.
