The Choco Elaenia is a subtle and often difficult-to-distinguish small flycatcher, endemic to the humid lowland and foothill forests of the Chocó biogeographic region. It is characterized by its somewhat drab plumage.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Chocó biogeographic region of western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador, inhabiting humid lowland and foothill forests.
How to spot
Requires careful distinction from similar elaenias, often relying on subtle plumage variations and distinct vocalizations. It forages in the mid-story and subcanopy of dense humid forests.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its restricted range. Best observed during early mornings when more active and vocal.
