Bruant à ailes dorées

Arremon schlegeli

Magnifique bruant à casque noir du sous-bois forestier. Il se distingue par sa tête noire contrastante, son bec jaune vif, sa gorge et ses parties inférieures blanches, son manteau gris clair, son dos et sa croupe jaune-vert, ses ailes et sa queue grises, et ses épaules dorées. La femelle a un bec plus terne et des parties inférieures teintées de chamois. On le trouve seul ou en couples fourrageant dans le sous-bois de forêts sèches à humides et de repousses secondaires broussailleuses. Sa vocalisation est un "zeut, zeut, zeee" aigu. C'est le seul bruant à tête entièrement noire de son aire de répartition. Trouvé uniquement en Colombie et au Venezuela.

Comportement

Golden-winged sparrows feed on or above the ground on seeds, fruit, and insects. They forage both alone and in pairs, in forests with second growth and dry to humid weather. The species breeds during the wet season due to an increase in singing activity. The song of golden-winged sparrows is commonly heard early in the morning during April and May. Their song is a high-pitched series of repeated notes, which have been described as the repetition of "Zeut-zeut-zeut-zee" or "Soot-soot-soot-see".

Conservation

There have been conservation sites found throughout the range where the golden-winged sparrow resides. The species has been found living in a protected area. However, there are still necessary conservation actions that need to be taken in the future.
