Fairly common in humid lowland forest edges, farms and gardens all over Costa Rica and is found from Mexico south through most of South America. When you get a front view, you see the unique buff-colored (beige to pinkish) spot on his throat with a black border. There are many examples in my Buff-throated Saltator Gallery, just did not get that view with this one in my garden last week.
¡Pura Vida!
