Spotted
Sclater's Cacique is a medium-sized, glossy black icterid with a pale bill, similar in appearance to several other black caciques. It is found in the western Amazon basin and adjacent foothills.
Where to spot
Found in the western Amazon basin of northeastern Peru, eastern Ecuador, and southern Colombia. Inhabits humid lowland rainforest, often near rivers or in mature secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for a medium-sized, entirely glossy black bird with a whitish or pale bill. Differentiating it from similar species like the Solitary Cacique requires attention to subtle differences in calls and range.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during general foraging activity throughout the day, often in mixed-species flocks.

This species is part of a complex group of similar-looking black caciques, making precise identification challenging without good views of bill color and careful attention to vocalizations.
