A localized becard species found in the humid lowland forests of the Guianan Shield and parts of northern Brazil. Males are predominantly grey with a darker slaty back.
Where to spot

How to spot
Look for it in the mid-story and canopy, often joining mixed-species flocks. Its overall grey plumage with a slightly darker slaty back is a key identifier. Listen for its high-pitched, whistled calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day, foraging in the mid-story and canopy.
