The Apical Flycatcher is a species endemic to the Andean regions of Colombia. It is a fairly common resident of dry forests and scrublands.
Where to spot
Exclusively found in the dry inter-Andean valleys of Colombia, preferring dry scrub, thorny woodlands, and forest edges, often near rivers.
How to spot
Search for it in the mid-story or canopy of dry trees. Listen for its distinctive, somewhat nasal calls, which are critical for separating it from other Myiarchus flycatchers in its limited range.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its specific habitat. Best observed during the cooler parts of the day, morning and late afternoon.

This flycatcher's scientific name 'apicalis' refers to the slightly paler, whitish tips on its tail feathers, a subtle but distinguishing feature.
