Description
Atlapetes pallidiceps was considered to be possibly extinct before its rediscovery in 1998, having last been recorded in 1969. The species eats insects, seeds, and fruit, and engages in perch-gleaning behavior.
Range & habitat
Atlapetes pallidiceps inhabits a less than 4 km² area of the Yunguilla Valley, characterized by sparsely-vegetated landslide rifts and fallow fields at elevations between 1,650–1,900 meters. Males have an average territory size of 0.7–1.4 hectares, typically within 100 meters of a stream, which generally contains large stands of Chusquea sp. bamboo.
