I'm not sure why some birds don't appear quite right, it could be a subadult or female plumage. Range looks fine to me: http://www.surinambirds.com/img/maps/Buf...
actually just found some pics that look just like it. I guess the book is wrong.
Buff-throated Saltator is not found in Huila, Colombia accroding to Birds of Colombia Hilty & Brown. It also looks nothing like the pic.
