The Grey-cheeked Nunlet is a distinctive species, characterized by its dark upperparts and contrasting grey cheeks. It is a quiet and often elusive forest bird.
Where to spot
Found in northern South America, particularly in Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador. It inhabits humid lowland rainforests and gallery forests, often in the understory and mid-story.
How to spot
Look for its grey cheeks contrasting with its darker cap. It often perches quietly on low to mid-level branches. Its calls are typically soft whistles or trills, making it challenging to detect by sound, so visual scanning is important.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, but often spends long periods perched motionless. Best observed in the early morning or late afternoon when foraging. It is a resident species.
