Description

Immature males are similar but have a less bold black colouring on the face and crown. Females are more subtly coloured, with a lighter blue back, crown, nape, and tail, with the primaries being olive coloured and the breast, belly, flanks, and face being yellow. Both sexes have greyish-black legs, silver bills, and brown eyes.

What it does
Like other conebills, the white-eared conebill mainly eats insects, foraging usually in the canopies of trees. It has also been known to join mixed species flocks but not to the same frequency as other relatives like the blue-backed conebill and the white-browed conebill.
