Euler's Flycatcher is a small, relatively plain flycatcher with olive-brown upperparts and pale underparts. It is a widespread migrant and resident across various wooded habitats.
Where to spot
Breeds in central and southern South America; migrates north to the Amazon basin and parts of Central America for the austral winter. It inhabits humid forests, secondary growth, and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for this subtle flycatcher in the mid to lower story of forests. It often perches quietly, flicking its tail up and down. Vocalizations are key for identification: a distinctive, often melancholic 'peee-wee' call, similar to a wood-pewee but usually softer.
When to spot
Varies by location: year-round in tropical resident zones, migratory seasons (spring/fall) in transit areas, and austral summer in breeding grounds.
