Buff-breasted mountain tanager, La Cocha, Colombia Our 2nd morning in the P&aacute;ramo started cold and foggy. Rather than going for target birds, we roamed around to capture anything interesting. Sorry for the obstructed shot, I don&#039;t have a better one.<br />

This is likely the taeniate sub species, which occurs in South Colombia only. It occurs between 2,200m and 3,400m. This bird is heard more often than seen. When hearing it, it goes like ziuuu-ziuu :) Buff-breasted mountain tanager,Colombia,Colombia 2018,Colombia South,Dubusia taeniata,Fall,Geotagged,La Cocha,Páramo,South America Click/tap to enlarge Species introCountry intro
