Cardinalidae — Cardinals & Allies

Ochre-breasted Tanager, Chlorothraupis stolzmanni, is a passerine of the Cardinalidae family that breeds in western Colombia and western Ecuador. It is a bird of moist lowland and montane forest on the Andean slopes, and it is found at higher elevations than the lemon-spectacled tanager. The sexes look alike. Its upperparts are drab olive-green, with a slight grey wash on the head in Colombian birds, while the underparts are ochraceous buff with some olive on the flanks and breast, and the throat is the palest area.
