Description
A brightly coloured bird, the golden-browed chlorophonia is distinctive within its range. The male is bright green above and yellow below, with a wide golden-yellow eyebrow stripe and a violet-blue cap. It has a narrow blue eye ring and a thin blue line extending from its nape to its breast. The female is similar, but without the golden brown and yellow breast; these are both replaced with green. They average 13 cm (5.1 in) in length. It has a soft whistling call: wheeeeuuu.

Feeding Habits
Golden-browed Chlorophonia predominantly consumes fruits, complemented by insects and small berries. Foraging in the canopy, golden-browed Chlorophonia may exhibit preferences for certain fruit varieties. Their diet is adapted to include a range of food sources available in their habitat.
Habitat
Golden-browed Chlorophonia typically resides in the canopy and borders of tall, moist highland forests, commonly known as cloud forests. These habitats are characterized by lush, moss-covered and epiphyte-laden trees. While golden-browed Chlorophonia primarily inhabits upper forest layers, it may also venture into the canopy of scattered tall trees in clearings or lower secondary growth with abundant small berries. Geographically, golden-browed Chlorophonia is found across montane regions, ranging from middle to high elevations, occasionally moving to lower altitudes seasonally.
