Spotted
A medium-sized tityra species found across a wide range of Central and South America. Males have a white body with black wings and tail, and a prominent black cap.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests, forest edges, and semi-open woodlands from southeastern Mexico south to northern Argentina.
How to spot
Scan the mid-story and canopy, often perched on exposed branches. The male's white body, black wings and tail, and distinct black cap are key field marks. Listen for its harsh, buzzing 'bzzt' calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day, often foraging in the mid-story and canopy.
