Where to spot
Found in the understory and lower to mid-story of humid lowland and foothill forests in parts of South America.
How to spot
Patiently scan the shaded undergrowth. Its crest is a clear identifier, and it often joins mixed-species flocks, making it easier to find.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Early mornings are best for spotting this bird as it forages actively.
