The pale-naped brushfinch (Atlapetes pallidinucha) is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The pale-naped brushfinch was formally described in 1840 with the binomial Tanagra (Arremon) pallidinucha. It was reassigned to its present genus Atlapetes in 1911.
The pale-naped brushfinch is about 18 cm (7.1 in) long and weighs about 21 to 40 g (0.74 to 1.4 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a wide pale cinnamon stripe from the forehead to the middle of the crown, a white rear crown and nape, and a black face. Their upperparts are dark slate gray and their wings and tail blackish. Their throat, breast, and belly are bright yellow. Their sides, flanks, and undertail coverts are washed with olivaceous to gray. Juveniles are duller overall than adults with a thin crown streak, a brownish wash on the upperparts, and dusky streaks on the breast. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-naped Brush-Finch sighting in Bogota on a given day, based on 144 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 99th most-seen of the 231 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-naped Brush-Finch in Bogota on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months. Those are among Bogota's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain a month against 45 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pale-naped Brush-Finch sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Bogota, in our data
Bogota is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pale-naped Brush-Finch sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-naped Brush-Finch is recorded against all the birds logged in Bogota (144 verified sightings), 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.
