The Golden-fronted Greenlet occurs from Panama through northern South America to Trinidad and Tobago. It searches the undersides of leaves for insects and spiders. Detailed nest records in the account are from Trinidad only.
The nominate form is about 12 cm long, with orange-yellow on the forehead and crown and brown to green upperparts. The sexes are similar; the account says juvenile appearance is undescribed.
It takes insects and spiders from leaf undersides, sometimes hanging upside down, and may forage in small groups. The account describes deep cup nests in Trinidad, built by both sexes from sticks, grasses and leaves and placed 1–10 m above ground.
