White-naped Brushfinch

Atlapetes albinucha

The White-naped Brushfinch, or Atlapetes albinucha, also known by its alternative name, the Yellow-throated Brush Finch, is a charming avian species belonging to the Passerellidae family.

Identification Tips

This bird can be recognized by its distinctive white nape, which contrasts with its otherwise predominantly brown plumage. The throat is a vibrant yellow, adding a splash of color that is quite useful for identification in the field.

Habitat

The White-naped Brushfinch is known to inhabit subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, as well as subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland. It can also be found in areas of heavily degraded former forest, demonstrating a degree of adaptability to altered landscapes.

Distribution

This species has a broad range across several countries, being found in Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the White-naped Brushfinch as Least Concern, indicating that, at present, there are no immediate threats to its population levels that would warrant a higher degree of conservation action.

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!

Fun way to add to your birdwatching experience
I enjoy watching birds in my backyard, but this app helped me really pay attention while on vacation this summer. It was fun to add new birds to my bird watching app.

Gets me outdoors more
I'm still loving this app. I use it most days & gets me outdoors more. Enjoying watching others progress and photo's, it's improved my wellbeing.... I love this app! I can keep a record of sightings and see what others have seen too.

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

Clean and easy to use
Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.
