White-eyed Redstart

Atalotriccus pilaris

The White-eyed Redstart, also known as the White-lored Redstart, is a small passerine bird found in the highlands of Central and South America. It is characterized by its distinctive white eye ring and bright red plumage on the belly and vent. This species is often found in montane forests, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates by hopping and flitting among the branches. The White-eyed Redstart is known for its melodious and varied song, which it uses to establish territory and attract mates during the breeding season. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential risks to its populations.
