Golden-fronted whitestart

Neopelma aurifrons

The Golden-fronted whitestart is a small, insectivorous bird found in the Andes of South America. It is known for its distinctive golden forehead and bright yellow underparts. This species is often found in montane forests and cloud forests, where it flits about in the understory and midstory, foraging for insects and small invertebrates. The Golden-fronted whitestart is known for its energetic and acrobatic foraging behavior, often flicking its wings and tail as it moves through the foliage. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation are potential threats to this species' long-term survival.

Habitat: Montane forests and cloud forests
