The Band-backed Sparrow is a striking neotropical bird known for its distinct black and white head pattern and duller body plumage. It typically forages on or near the ground in dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
Found in South America, primarily in mountainous regions of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. It inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and their edges, often at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive head pattern: a black crown, broad white supercilium, and a black stripe through the eye. Listen for its sharp, metallic calls from dense vegetation. Patience is key, as it often stays hidden in thickets.
When to spot
Active year-round within its range. Best observed during early morning and late afternoon when it is most actively foraging and singing.
