Spotted
The Eye-ringed Flatbill is a medium-sized flycatcher distinguished by its prominent pale eye-ring and broad, flattened bill. It typically inhabits the mid-story and subcanopy of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland forests across Central and South America, from southeastern Mexico south to central Brazil.
How to spot
Look for its pale eye-ring and broad bill. It often perches quietly for extended periods, then makes rapid sallies to catch insects. Scan the mid-story and subcanopy near streams or forest gaps.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the mornings and late afternoons, when insect activity is high.

The flatbills are named for their broad, flat bills, which are highly specialized for hawking insects in flight or gleaning them from large leaves.
