Spotted
The Fulvous-headed Flatbill is a small, distinctive flycatcher named for its broad, flattened bill and its rufous or fulvous-colored head. It is found in dry scrub and woodland habitats.
Where to spot
Found in South America, particularly in Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. It prefers dry scrub, thorny woodlands, and arid chaco forests.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive fulvous head and flattened bill. It often perches low in bushes, making short, quick sallies for insects. Its relatively short tail is another identifying feature. Listen for its soft, whistled calls.
When to spot
A year-round resident in its range. Most active during the day, particularly mid-morning.

The broad bill of flatbills is an adaptation for catching insects in flight or gleaning them from foliage, acting like a tiny pair of forceps.
