The Thick-billed Euphonia is a small, stocky finch, known for its relatively robust bill compared to other euphonias. Males are glossy blue-black above with bright yellow underparts, and a small yellow crown patch.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland and foothill forests of western South America, including Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. It also extends into parts of Central America.
How to spot
Look for this euphonia in fruiting trees within humid forests and edges. Note its proportionately thicker bill. The male's bright yellow belly and small yellow crown patch are good identifiers. Listen for its high-pitched, clear, and varied 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 and mid-story.

Its thicker bill is adapted for processing a wider range of fruits, including those with harder seeds, distinguishing its foraging habits from some of its daintier relatives.
