A medium-sized becard species found in the humid lowland forests of northern South America. Its plumage is predominantly rufous or cinnamon-brown, particularly on the underparts.
Where to spot
Humid lowland forests and forest edges in northern South America, including Venezuela, the Guianas, and northern Brazil, with isolated populations elsewhere.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid-story and canopy, often joining mixed-species flocks. Its uniform rufous-brown plumage is a key identifier. Listen for its clear, whistled calls, often a rising 'whee-chee.'
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day, foraging in the mid-story and canopy.
