To identify male euphonias, focus on crown and throat: Yellow-crowned has an entirely yellow crown and a dark throat. Females extremely difficult to separate from other euphonias but often seen in pairs or small groups with males. Frequents open forested habitats, edges, and gardens. Can form mixed feeding flocks with other species such as warblers and tanagers.
