The Black-and-yellow Silky-flycatcher is a striking and elegant species, characterized by its glossy black upperparts and vibrant yellow underparts. It is a unique member of the silky-flycatcher family.
Where to spot
Endemic to the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama, inhabiting humid montane forests and forest edges, often found in cloud forests.
How to spot
Look in the mid-canopy and upper story of montane cloud forests. It often perches conspicuously on exposed branches, especially near fruiting trees. Its bold yellow and black pattern makes it stand out.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the breeding season (typically April-June) when fruit is abundant.

Unlike other silky-flycatchers, this species has a rather short, blunt bill, which is adapted for consuming a diet rich in fruits, particularly those with hard seeds.
