Spotted
The Drab-breasted Bamboo-Tyrant is a small, subtly colored flycatcher found near water in the Amazon basin. It has a dull olive-brown back and grayish-white underparts.
Where to spot
Riparian bamboo thickets and dense vegetation along rivers and streams in the Amazon basin, including parts of Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often rapid calls from within dense bamboo. It can be hard to see due to its preferred habitat and drab plumage. Patience is key to spotting it moving through the thickets.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when it is most active, though its skulking nature makes it challenging.
This species is a true specialist, almost exclusively found in the dense bamboo thickets that grow along rivers and streams in its Amazonian range.
