Carpodectes hopkei

The Black-capped Hemispingus is a small passerine bird found in the Andes of South America. It is characterized by its black cap, olive-green upperparts, and yellow underparts. This species is often found in montane forests, particularly in the canopy and mid-levels, where it forages for insects and berries. The Black-capped Hemispingus is known for its distinctive high-pitched calls and can be observed in mixed-species flocks. While its population size is not well-documented, it is believed to be relatively stable within its range.
