Golden-crowned Spadebill

Platyrinchus coronatus

The Golden-crowned Spadebill is a small, insect-eating bird found in the forests of South America. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, bright yellow underparts, and a distinctive golden crown on its head. This species is known for its rapid and erratic flight patterns as it hunts for insects in the dense foliage. The Golden-crowned Spadebill is typically found in the understory of humid tropical forests, where it forages for small invertebrates. While its population status is not well-documented, it is believed to be relatively stable within its range.
