Ashy-headed Greenlet

Hylophilus pectoralis

The Ashy-headed Greenlet (Hylophilus pectoralis) is a small songbird found in South America. It is characterized by its ashy-gray head, olive-green upperparts, and pale underparts. This species is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard in the dense foliage of humid forests and woodland edges. Ashy-headed Greenlets primarily feed on insects and forage in the mid to upper levels of the forest canopy. They are typically found in tropical and subtropical moist lowland forests and are known for their active and acrobatic behavior as they search for food. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation are potential concerns for the long-term conservation of this species.

Habitat: Tropical and subtropical moist lowland forests
