Olive-headed Brush Finch

Arremon virenticeps

The Olive-headed Brush Finch (Arremon virenticeps) is a small passerine bird found in the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama. It is characterized by its olive-green head, grayish-brown upperparts, and pale underparts. This species is typically found in dense undergrowth and thickets in montane forests, where it forages for insects and seeds. The Olive-headed Brush Finch is known for its distinctive song, a series of melodious whistles. While its population size is not well-documented, it is believed to be relatively stable within its limited range. However, habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential threats to this species.

Habitat: Montane forests and dense undergrowth
