Spotted
The Pied Tody-Tyrant is a small, distinctive flycatcher, marked by its contrasting black and white plumage. It is a rare and localized species, typically found in dense undergrowth of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Has a highly fragmented distribution across northern South America, found in specific patches of humid lowland forest undergrowth.
How to spot
Look for its striking black and white pattern. It often remains hidden in dense vegetation, so patience and a keen ear for its quiet calls are essential. Focus on forest understory and thickets.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its localized range. Observation is challenging due to its rarity and preference for dense cover, but early mornings may offer the best chance.
This species is known for its highly specialized foraging behavior, often gleaning insects from the undersides of leaves while hanging upside down, a unique trait among small flycatchers.
