Spotted
The White-headed Brushfinch is a stunning bird endemic to a specific region of Peru, known for its crisp white head that contrasts sharply with its dark body. It is a rare and localized species.
Where to spot
Endemic to a very restricted area in central Peru, specifically in the humid montane forests of the Department of Amazonas. It inhabits dense undergrowth and bamboo thickets at mid-elevations.
How to spot
Requires targeted expeditions to its very specific highland habitat. Look for its entirely white head, which is highly diagnostic, contrasting with a dark olive-gray body. Listen for its vocalizations, which aid in location.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its limited range. Best observed during early morning when it is most active.
Its exceptionally distinct head plumage makes it one of the most uniquely patterned brushfinches in the entire genus.
