Spotted
The Tricolored Brushfinch is a stunning bird of the Andes, aptly named for its three distinct color zones: a black head, white throat, and chestnut underparts. It is a secretive forest understory inhabitant.
Where to spot
Found in the Andes of southern Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru. It inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and dense secondary growth, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its bold black head, white throat, and rich chestnut belly. It typically forages on the ground or in low shrubs in dense forest. Listen for its distinctive, often repetitive, song.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon.
Its vivid coloration, particularly the chestnut belly, makes it one of the most visually striking species within the brushfinch group.
