Spotted
The Golden-crowned Flycatcher is a colorful and robust tyrant flycatcher of Central and South American montane forests. It is named for its often conspicuous yellow crown patch.
Where to spot
Found from Costa Rica and Panama south through the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and into Bolivia. Inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and forest edges, typically at middle to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its heavy bill, prominent streaking on the breast and back, and a noticeable white supercilium. While the golden crown patch is often concealed, its overall pattern and vocalizations are key. Listen for its loud, raspy calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Best observed during active foraging in the morning and late afternoon.
