ID tip
The Altamira yellowthroat is 13 cm (5.1 in) long and has a yellow-green back and bright yellow belly. The adult male has a black face mask and yellow crown. Females are similar, but lack the black mask and have an olive crown. This species is easily distinguished from wintering common yellowthroats by its uniform yellow underparts, in contrast to common's white belly. Males' yellow forehead bands are diagnostic. Vocalizations are very similar to those of common yellowthroat and are not readily distinguishable to the human ear.
