Description
The pardusco (Nephelornis oneilli) is a species of tanager that is endemic to woodland near the timberline in the Andes of central Peru. It is the only member of the genus Nephelornis. This small olive-brown bird is typically seen in groups, which sometimes join mixed species flocks. It has a small range, but is locally fairly common, and consequently considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International and IUCN.

Habitat
The habitat of pardusco comprises primarily of elfin forests and scrub zones. These environments are typically found at the intersection of temperate cloud forests and alpine grasslands, where the dense foliage meets open spaces. Such habitats represent the treeline ecotone, a transitional area between distinct ecological communities.
