What is golden browed chlorophonia?

The golden-browed chlorophonia (Chlorophonia callophrys) is a species of small passerine bird belonging to the family Fringillidae. It is endemic to the humid montane forests of Central America, ranging from southern Mexico to Panama.

The male golden-browed chlorophonia has a bright green plumage with a distinctive golden-yellow crown and forehead. It also has a black face mask and throat, with a white band across the nape and a pale yellow breast. The female has a more subdued green coloration and lacks the golden crown and black mask of the male.

This species is typically found in the canopy of montane forests, foraging on fruit and insects. It is a gregarious bird, often seen in small groups or mixed-species flocks.

Golden-browed chlorophonias are not considered threatened, but their populations are declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their forest habitat and promoting sustainable logging practices.
