The Masked Saltator is a medium-sized songbird found in the Andes of South America. It is known for its distinctive black mask and olive-green plumage. These birds are often found in forest edges, secondary growth, and coffee plantations, where they forage for fruits, seeds, and insects. They are known for their melodious songs and are often seen in pairs or small groups. The Masked Saltator is not currently considered to be globally threatened, but habitat loss and fragmentation are potential threats to its populations.
