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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden-bellied Euphonia is recorded against all the birds logged in Manu National Park (499 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.
