The gold-bellied wood warbler ( Myiothlypis chrysogaster , Syn . : Basileuterus chrysogaster ) is a small songbird from the wood warbler family (Parulidae).
Gold-bellied wood warbler reach a body length of thirteen centimeters and weigh around 11 grams. The wing length is 5.9 to 6.4 centimeters in the male and 5.8 centimeters in the female. They are easy to confuse with the Warbler ( Myiothlypis bivittata ). Adult gold-bellied wood warbler and young birds from the first year on have a yellow-orange to orange crown and black lateral stripes. The broad yellow superciliar stripe distinguishes it from the Chocówald warbler ( Myiothlypis chlorophrys ), a former subspecies that has an olive stripe above the eye that is almost not separated from the rest of the plumage. There is a yellow spot above the eye towards the base of the beak. The upper side plumage is olive green; the underside plumage yellow with olive flanks.
The distribution area extends from Colombia via Ecuador to Peru . Gold-bellied warblers live in pairs or in small groups in tropical and subtropical moist alluvial forests at heights of 300 to 1200 meters.
