Kara Takkeli Hemispingus Kleinothraupis atropileus

A small tanager with a bold head pattern: the black crown and cheek contrast with the bright white eyebrow and rich orangey-yellow throat. Otherwise olive above with a yellow belly. Pairs or small parties forage in the lower levels of cloud forest, from around 2,300-3,200m. Look for them in particular in areas with bamboo in the understory. Often follows mixed-species flocks.
