The Short-winged Elaenia is a subtle and often difficult-to-distinguish small flycatcher, characterized by its relatively short wings. It inhabits high-altitude montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests of the Andes in South America, from Colombia to Peru.
How to spot
Requires careful distinction from other elaenias, often relying on subtle plumage variations and distinct vocalizations. Look for its short wings and general elaenia foraging style in the mid-story of montane forests.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its montane habitat. Most active during early mornings when foraging and vocalizing.

Its short wings are an adaptation to its montane forest habitat, allowing for more agile maneuvering within dense tree cover.
