The Bran-colored Flycatcher is a widespread and common small flycatcher with a generally dull, brownish-olive plumage. It is found in a wide variety of open and semi-open habitats.
Where to spot
Widespread across Central and South America, from Mexico south to Argentina. It inhabits a broad range of habitats, including forest edges, clearings, open woodlands, scrub, and gardens.
How to spot
Look for this small, active bird perched conspicuously on wires, fences, or low branches in open areas. Its typical flycatcher behavior of darting out for insects is a good clue. Its variable calls are important for identification.
When to spot
A year-round resident in most of its range, though some populations may make local movements. Active throughout the day, especially in the mornings.
