Golden-browed Chlorophonia

Chlorophonia callophrys (Cabanis, 1861)

Golden-browed Chlorophonia, Chlorophonia callophrys, is a passerine finch of Middle America, breeding in Costa Rica and Panama. It lives in the mountain forests of both countries, especially in evergreen woodland and along forest margins, and is most often associated with mossy, epiphyte-laden trees. Its range runs through Costa Rica’s highlands and into western Panama, with an elevation span from 750 to 2,500 m, though in Costa Rica it is recorded from 1,000 m up to treeline. It is a resident bird that may move after breeding and shift height seasonally when fruit becomes scarce.
