It ranges from Colombia and Venezuela south through Ecuador and Peru, inhabiting humid montane forest undergrowth and shrubby areas above 2,000 meters. It feeds on insects, berries, and seeds, often in mixed-species flocks.
Azure-rumped Tanager
The Azure-rumped Tanager is a Vulnerable tanager found in humid forests of Guatemala and southern Mexico, weighing about 14g with a wingspan of 17.5cm.
