Colombian name: Frutero Verdinegro

The Green-and-black Fruiteater is distributed in the mountains of northern Venezuela and the Andes from western Venezuela to central Peru. See the distribution map at xeno-canto. It is found in montane forest and its borders mainly between 1,5900 and 2,700 metres.

The bill and legs are coral red. The male has a black head, throat and breast with a yellow border on the neck and bib. Underparts are yellow with olive streaks. Note that in the sub-species found in the western cordillera, P. r. occidentalis (photo 1), the yellow border is more complete than in the nominate form (photo 2).
