The Large-billed Flycatcher is an uncommon and localized species, endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It is notable for its relatively robust bill, adapted for its unique island diet.
Where to spot

How to spot
Look for it perched on prominent branches in arid scrub and deciduous trees. Its relatively large bill and overall brownish-gray plumage with a pale belly are key identifiers. Listen for its characteristic calls.
When to spot
