The white-lored euphonia or golden-bellied euphonia (Euphonia chrysopasta) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in every mainland South American country except Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

Multiple studies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries resulted in its being reassigned to its present place in the family Fringillidae.
The white-lored euphonia is 9 to 10 cm (3.5 to 3.9 in) long and weighs about 11 to 16 g (0.39 to 0.56 oz). It has a thick bill. The species is sexually dimorphic but not dramatically so.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-bellied Euphonia sighting in Amboró National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 167th most-seen of the 273 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden-bellied Euphonia in Amboró National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and July–January, the lowest months. June has too few records to rate.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden-bellied Euphonia sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
9th of 10
Of the 10 parks where we can rate Golden-bellied Euphonia sightings, Amboró National Park ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 20%), Sierra de la Macarena National Park (Colombia, about 10%) and Brownsberg Nature Park (Suriname, about 10%).
Same genus: Euphonia
The closest relatives of the Golden-bellied Euphonia that you can see in Amboró National Park (genus Euphonia, Typical Euphonias) are Thick-billed Euphonia (about 20%), Purple-throated Euphonia (about 20%) and Bronze-green Euphonia (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-bellied Euphonia is recorded against all the birds logged in Amboró National Park (12 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
