Orange-crowned Euphonia
Euphonia saturata (Cabanis, 1861)
Fringillidae — Finches, Euphonias
Orange-crowned Euphonia, Euphonia saturata, is a finch in the Fringillidae family that breeds in western Colombia and reaches far north-west Peru. It was first described by Cabanis in 1861. Its range runs through Colombia and Ecuador, with only a slight extension into Peru. The bird is tied to semi-open country in lowlands and foothills, including woodland edges, clearings with scattered trees, parks and gallery forest. It is a resident species, though some seasonal or after-breeding movement has been recorded. The species is monotypic.
