Black-fronted Brushfinch
Atlapetes nigrifrons Phelps, WH & Gilliard, 1940
Passerellidae — New World Sparrows
Black-fronted Brushfinch Atlapetes nigrifrons is a passerine of the New World sparrows that breeds in the Perijá Mountains on the Colombia-Venezuela border. It is confined to the Serranía de Perijá in northern Colombia and western Venezuela, where it lives in humid montane forest. It is most often associated with shrubby margins and regenerating woodland, and it also uses disturbed places. The species was first described in 1940. It is the black-fronted brushfinch because adults show a black forehead, with the rest of the head marked by rufous to orange tones. It is a year-round resident.
