    A very unusual conebill that forages like a nuthatch, almost always deep inside Polylepis foliage; getting such a clear shot was a "golazo" as we'd say here, a great accomplishment! Posted 3 years ago

The Giant conebill

The giant conebill is a small passerine bird, one of the tanager family. It is closely related to the regular conebills "Conirostrum" though it differs in its larger size and nuthatch-like foraging habits.
