The Grey-capped Flycatcher is a colorful tyrant flycatcher found in Central and South America. It is distinguished by its gray crown contrasting with a yellow belly.
Where to spot
Found from Honduras south through Central America to Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and parts of Bolivia. Inhabits humid forest edges, clearings, secondary growth, and riparian zones, often at higher elevations than some congeners.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive grey cap, contrasting with an olive back and bright yellow underparts. It also has a black eye-stripe and a hidden yellow crown patch. Listen for its rather varied and often whistled calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active during the morning and late afternoon.
