Spotted
The Ashy-fronted Flycatcher (*Muscicapa randi*) is an endemic Philippine flycatcher. It is a small, rather drab bird with an ashy-grey forehead that contrasts with its brownish upperparts and pale belly.
Where to spot
Endemic to the islands of Luzon, Mindanao, and Mindoro in the Philippines. It inhabits montane forests, typically found in the mid-story and undergrowth.
How to spot
Look for its small size, grayish-brown plumage, and the subtle ashy wash on its forehead. It typically perches quietly, making short sallies to catch insects. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its forest habitats. It is generally active throughout the day, but more vocally active during the breeding season.
