Chestnut-capped Brushfinch

Atlapetes tibialis

The Chestnut-capped Brushfinch is a small passerine bird found in the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. It is characterized by its chestnut-colored cap and olive-green upperparts. This species is often found in dense undergrowth and thickets, where it forages for insects and seeds. The Chestnut-capped Brushfinch is known for its distinctive song, which consists of a series of clear, melodious notes. While it is not currently considered globally threatened, its habitat is increasingly threatened by deforestation and habitat degradation.
