In the humid lowland forests of the Neotropics, this citrus-flashed songster slips through sunlit foliage with gentle assurance. It feeds on soft fruits, insects, and nectar, often joining mixed flocks that drift quietly through the canopy. What makes it extraordinary is its role as a connector — dispersing seeds and supporting flowering cycles as it moves between forest layers, helping tropical woods renew themselves. Subtle in voice yet bright in detail, a small spark woven into the green.
