The Sulphur-throated Finch is a distinctive species named for the bright yellow or sulfur-colored patch on its throat, found in arid coastal and western Andean habitats.
Where to spot
Arid coastal scrub and dry western slopes of the Andes in southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru, generally below 1,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for the prominent yellow throat patch, which is its key identifier. It often forages on the ground. Listen for its unique vocalizations, which also aid in detection.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the mornings when it is most active and vocal.

This finch often perches conspicuously on exposed rocks or low bushes, allowing for good views of its characteristic throat patch, which makes identification relatively easy.
