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.
