- Chlorospingus flavopectus phaeocephalus Sclater & Salvin, 1877 Plumage and iris coloration (n = 20; 13 males, 4 females, and 3 unsexed).—Throat color and pattern: whitish or buff cream color (C.54) with some spectrum yellow (C.55) barbules and some scattered glaucous (C.79) speckles. Chin and lower throat including malar region: hints of glaucous (C.79) n some individuals. Moustachial stripe: weak glaucous (C.79) in adult can be perceived depending on the view angle. Pectoral band: a fairly bright lemon chrome (b. 21) in center, with more olive-yellow (C.52) on the sides. Belly: whitish silvery, light olive-gray (d. 23) in some individuals. Iris coloration: silvery yellow. Some labels in Spanish refer to iris as “cream color,” meaning pale yellow. Breeding. — Cadena et al. (2007) reported nests from 1 March to 5 June 2001, in the Cosanga area, near San Isidro Lodge, Napo Province. At San Isidro Lodge, MSN observed a juvenile accompanying its parents on 12 January 2019, a family group with two young on 17 June, and an adult collecting food (beetles and moths) on 17 August. On 16 February 2020, a juvenile was observed catching moths. Distribution.—Montane evergreen forest and forest borders in the eastern slope of the Andes (Amazon basin), from the Colombian massif region in Putumayo (Avendaño et al. 2013; Chavez-Paz et al. 2017; Felix & Coral-Jaramillo 2017), through the Ecuadorian east Andean slope—from north to south— entering the Cajamarca Department in far northeast Peru. Its altitudinal distribution in Ecuador is 1500–2700 m (Freile & Restall 2018). A complementary taxonomic history review is given in Supplementary Material A9.
