Widely distributed from southern Mexico through Central America and much of South America, including the Andes and parts of the Amazon. It inhabits humid forests, cloud forests, and secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for its brown cap and pale eyebrow. Listen for its characteristic vireo song, which can be deliberate and repetitive, varying geographically. Scan the mid-story and sub-canopy.
