Where to spot
Widespread from eastern Mexico south through Central America to western Panama. Inhabits forest edges, clearings, second growth, coffee plantations, and gardens.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive black head with a strong white eyebrow stripe. Listen for its loud, rich, whistled song, often a repeated phrase, which is a key identification feature. They are often seen in pairs or small groups.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season (typically March to August) and during early morning.
