Spotted
The Swallow-tailed Euphonia is a small, compact finch, characterized by the male's glossy blue-black upperparts, bright yellow underparts, and a distinctly long, notched tail. Females are duller green.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland and foothill forests of Central America, from southern Mexico south to Panama. It prefers forest edges, clearings, and mature secondary growth.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of humid forests and edges, especially around fruiting trees. The male's glossy blue-black and yellow plumage with the distinctive long, notched tail are key. Listen for its high-pitched, often buzzy or chattering calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range. Best observed during the early morning or late afternoon when they are actively foraging for small fruits and insects.

Its relatively long, notched tail gives it a swallow-like appearance in flight, which is unique among most euphonia species.
