The Ochre-browed Brushfinch is a subtly marked bird of the Andes, recognized by its faint ochre-colored supercilium and plain olive-brown plumage. It is a secretive understory inhabitant.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of southeastern Ecuador and northern Peru. It inhabits dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and forest edges, typically at mid-elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, whistled song. Look for its plain, olive-brown plumage with a subtle ochre wash above the eye. It forages low in dense vegetation, often on the ground.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
