The fulvous-vented euphonia (Euphonia fulvicrissa) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama. The fulvous-vented euphonia was originally described in 1857 with its current binomial Euphonia fulvicrissa. At the time, the genus Euphonia was a member of the family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. Multiple studies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries resulted in Euphonia being reassigned to its present place in the family Fringillidae.
The fulvous-vented euphonia is 9 to 10 cm (3.5 to 3.9 in) long and weighs about 10 to 13 g (0.35 to 0.46 oz). It is a small euphonia. The species is sexually dimorphic. Adult males of the nominate subspecies have a small lemon-yellow forehead; the patch extends to just above the eye. The rest of their crown and their face, nape, throat, chest, and upperparts are glossy blue-black. Their flight feathers are dusky with a blue-black tinge... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fulvous-vented Euphonia is recorded against all the birds logged in Chagres National Park (658 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.
