The golden-hooded tanager (stilpnia larvata) is a medium-sized passerine bird. This tanager is a resident breeder from southern Mexico south to western Ecuador. Golden-hooded tanagers occur in pairs, family groups or as part of a mixed-species feeding flock. They eat certain small fruit (e.g. of trophis racemosa (moraceae)) usually swallowed whole, and insects are also taken.

Very attractive small tanager of humid tropical lowlands. Found in humid evergreen forest edges, plantations, and gardens; at times with mixed-species feeding flocks of honeycreepers and euphonias. Often in pairs, feeding at all levels in fruiting trees and bushes. Sexes look alike: black and blue overall with a white belly and a soft golden hood; in good light, varied purple and turquoise sheens are apparent.

Esta linda especie es localmente común en Colombia. Es un placer, especialmente porque, fuera de Colombia, su distribución se limita a una pequeña zona del norte de Ecuador. Se muestra muy bien en Loma Merchán.
