Atimastillas flavigula

The Yellow-throated Bush-Tanager is a small, brightly colored bird found in the forests of South America. It is easily recognized by its vibrant yellow throat and chest, contrasting with its olive-green back and wings. This species is known for its melodious song, often heard echoing through the dense foliage. Yellow-throated Bush-Tanagers are typically found foraging for insects and fruits in the mid to upper levels of the forest canopy. They are known to form small flocks and are often seen in mixed-species foraging groups. Despite their bright colors, they can be elusive and difficult to spot due to their preference for dense vegetation.
