The Yellow-green Brushfinch is a subtly colored bird with an olive-green body and a plain face. It is a shy inhabitant of humid montane forests, often foraging on the ground.
Where to spot
Found in the northern Andes of Colombia and Ecuador. It inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and dense secondary growth, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its simple, repetitive song. Look for its uniform olive-green upperparts and yellow-green underparts, lacking strong patterns. It often stays hidden in dense undergrowth, so patience is required.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active in the early morning and late afternoon.
