Moustached Puffbird

Malacoptila mystacalis

Least Concern

The Moustached Puffbird is a sit-and-wait puffbird of northern Andean forests of Colombia and Venezuela. It watches from exposed or shaded perches, then darts out for insects, spiders, and small vertebrates, nesting in burrows or cavities depending on the species. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though intact forest, woodland, and nesting sites remain important locally.
