The White-capped Tanager is a striking, large, and relatively heavy-bodied tanager, distinguished by its glossy black plumage and a prominent pure white cap. It's often found in montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests of the Andes, ranging from Colombia and Venezuela south through Ecuador and Peru.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story to canopy of humid montane forests. Listen for their loud, chattering calls, which often betray the presence of a flock. Binoculars are essential for good views in the canopy.
When to spot
A resident species, observable year-round in its range. Best observed in the mornings when flocks are most active.
