How to spot
Listen for its distinctive calls, which often accompany mixed flocks. Look for its robust bill and fulvous coloration as it moves through the canopy.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed in the morning when it actively forages.

Its shrike-like bill is adapted for catching larger insects and even small vertebrates, a behavior less common among typical fruit-eating tanagers.
