The golden-crowned spadebill (Platyrinchus coronatus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found Central America from Honduras to Panama and in every mainland South American country except Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The golden-crowned spadebill is the smallest member of its genus. It is about 8.5 to 9 cm (3.3 to 3.5 in) long and weighs 8 to 9 g (0.28 to 0.32 oz). It has a large head with a bold facial pattern and a stubby tail. The sexes have almost the same plumage. Males of the nominate subspecies have a black crown with a partially hidden orange-rufous patch in the center; females have a purer orange patch. Both sexes have pale buff-yellow as a patch above the lores, as an eye-ring, as a stripe behind the eye, and as a patch on the ear coverts. Their lores are blackish brown that continues as a stripe through and beneath the eye and around the ear coverts. The rest of their head and their upperparts, wings, and tail are olive. Their throat is pale whitish yellow and their underparts mostly pale yellow. Their breast has an olive wash or streaks. Juveniles do not have the colorful crown patch; they have paler facial markings and underparts than adults with grayish olive upperparts and ochraceous edges of the wing coverts and flight feathers. Subspecies P. c. superciliaris has brighter yellow underparts than the nominate and P. c. gumia has a brighter yellow belly. All subspecies have a dark iris, a wide flat bill with a black maxilla and a pale yellow mandible, and pale pinkish legs and feet.
