Дюбузия

A medium-sized mountain tanager of Andean cloud forests, buff-breasted mountain tanagers have warm buff-orange underparts contrasting with deep blue-black upper parts and wings, creating a striking warm-cool color contrast. Found in humid montane forest at elevations of 2,000–3,600 meters from Venezuela south to Bolivia. They inhabit forest interior and edge, foraging in pairs and small groups on fruit and insects in the mid-canopy. They often join mixed-species flocks. Listed as Least Concern.
