The Rufous-browed Jungle Flycatcher is a small, shy bird characterized by its olive-brown plumage and a subtle rufous brow. It inhabits the dense undergrowth of montane forests in the Philippines.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Philippines, found in montane forests across several islands, including Luzon, Mindanao, and Negros, typically at higher elevations.
How to spot
Requires significant patience and quiet observation in dense forest undergrowth. Focus on areas with fallen logs and leaf litter where it forages. Listening for its soft calls is often the best way to locate it.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is a resident species. Activity levels may increase during the breeding season, but overall it remains elusive.

Its 'jungle' moniker truly reflects its preferred habitat, as it spends most of its time hidden within the dense, dark understory, making it notoriously difficult to spot.
