Common Bush-Tanager

Chlorospingus flavopectus

The Common Bush-Tanager (Chlorospingus flavopectus) is a small passerine bird found in the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. It is characterized by its olive-green plumage, yellow throat, and distinctive black mask. This species is often found in the understory of montane forests, where it forages for insects and small fruits. The Common Bush-Tanager typically forms small flocks and is known for its melodious and varied songs. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss due to deforestation poses a potential risk to its population.
