Godman's Euphonia is a small finch from western Mexico, often considered a subspecies of the Yellow-throated Euphonia. Males are characterized by glossy black upperparts and bright yellow underparts, with a small yellow crown patch.
Where to spot
Found in western Mexico, primarily in the states of Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Michoacán. It prefers drier deciduous forests, thorn scrub, and open woodlands.
How to spot
Search for this euphonia in drier forest edges and open areas. Its small size, glossy black upperparts, yellow underparts, and small yellow crown patch are key. Listen for its high-pitched, clear, and often buzzing calls.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during the early morning or late afternoon when actively foraging. Look for it during the dry season when foliage is less dense.

This bird's association with arid and semi-arid thorn forest habitats distinguishes it from many other euphonia species that prefer more humid environments.
