| Orange-bellied Euphonia
Euphonia xanthogaster Brazilian name: fim-fim-grande |

|
Camacă, Bahia, Brazil November 2008 The Purple-throated Euphonia is distributed in much of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru, northern Bolivia and the western part of Amazonia. There is a disjunct population in south-east Brazil from the south of Bahia where these photos were taken to Rio de Janeiro. |

They inhabit forest, forest borders and secondary woodland. The males are very similar to male Purple-throated Euphonia E. chlorotica, so much so that I initially misidentified these birds. However, it is larger and the yellow is more orange. It also has a different voice which is what initially alerted Ciro Albano to the misidentification. | |||

There are recordings and a distribution map on xeno-canto and additional information can be accessed on Avibase. | |||
