The Pale-headed Brush-finch (Atlapetes pallidiceps) faces significant threats, notably brood parasitism by the Shiny
Cowbird, with a 42% parasitism rate in 2002. Successful cowbird control since 2003 has positively impacted the population. The species is vulnerable to fires, leading to reduced adult

The Pale-headed Brush-finch (Atlapetes pallidiceps) is classified as
Endangered, with fewer than 250 mature individuals. Conservation efforts between 2003 and 2012 led to a population increase, but the species remains in a precarious state. A decline in conservation work may lead to an uplisting to

Atlapetes pallidiceps thrives in regenerating landslides and fallow fields at elevations of 1,650 to 1,950 meters. This bird's habitat, concentrated in the
Yunguilla Valley near Girón, Azuay, features dense low scrub, small clearings, and Chusquea bamboo patches. The species, often seen in pairs

foraging within 2 meters of the ground, strategically places nests in thickets of small bushes or bamboo. Limited to the río

survival, and is potentially threatened by droughts, as water availability influences adult survival. A high annual turnover of 40% in singing males suggests rapid vulnerability to changes in management or new threats.
254:. Following intensive management, including the removal of cowbirds, the population of the pale-headed brushfinch is currently increasing. Further increase, however, may be limited by a lack of suitable habitat.
