The Fuscous Flycatcher is a medium-sized, unassuming flycatcher with a generally dull, dusky brown plumage. It is a widespread resident of dry to semi-humid woodlands in South America.
Where to spot
Widespread in dry to semi-humid woodlands, deciduous forests, and forest edges across much of South America, including Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and parts of the Guianas.
How to spot
Listen for its unique, often scratchy or buzzy calls. Look for it perched in the mid-story or lower canopy, often making short, sharp sallies for insects.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly vocal in the mornings and late afternoons. Observable year-round in its resident range.
