The White-winged Brushfinch is a distinctive bird of the Andes, characterized by its prominent white wing patch (visible in flight) and a bold white supercilium. It is a resident of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of western Ecuador and northwestern Peru. It inhabits dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and forest edges, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its white supercilium and, most importantly, the prominent white patch on its wings, particularly visible when it moves or flies. It forages low in dense vegetation. Listen for its clear, whistled song.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
