Spotted
The Golden-crowned Spadebill is a small, broad-billed flycatcher found in the humid understory of Neotropical forests. Males exhibit a distinctive golden or orange crown patch.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests across Central and South America, particularly in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest regions. Look in the understory.
How to spot
Look for its broad bill and small size. Pay attention to the crown patch if the bird is agitated. Listen for its high-pitched, thin calls. It often forages by gleaning insects from foliage.
When to spot
Year-round, most active during the early morning.

The golden crown patch on the male Golden-crowned Spadebill is often hidden, only becoming visible when the bird is agitated or displaying, adding to the challenge of identification.
