About the Golden-bellied Euphonia

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.

Their lores, chin, and cheeks are ashy whitish gray and the rest of their face is olive-green. Their upperparts... Wikipedia →
