Identification
Small, nondescript bird found in scrubby woodland from Panama to Venezuela and Trinidad. Namesake golden forehead is not obvious and usually difficult to see. Look for brownish head, buffy underparts, and greenish upperparts; also note relatively long, pinkish, vireo-like bill. Singles or pairs are usually seen foraging in the middle levels or canopy, sometimes following a mixed-species flock. Listen for short warbled phrases.
