Spotted
The Sulphur-rumped Tanager is a rather unique tanager, typically black with an olive back and a bright yellow patch on its rump, which can be difficult to see. It is a shy inhabitant of the forest understory.
Where to spot
Humid foothill forests and mature secondary growth on the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica and Panama.
How to spot
Look for it in the forest understory or at mid-levels, often near army ant swarms, which it follows to feed on flushed insects. Patience is key.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Can be challenging to see, but most active in the morning.

The "sulphur-rump" is often only visible when the bird spreads its wings or is in flight, making it a challenging but rewarding feature to observe.
