The Grey-chested Greenlet is a subtle Neotropical songbird characterized by its greyish chest and olive-green back. It is a quiet, methodical insectivore, often found in the mid-story of dense forests.
Where to spot
Found in the Amazon Basin of South America, including parts of Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia. It inhabits humid lowland rainforests and mature secondary forests.
How to spot
Look for the greyish wash on its chest. Listen for its distinctive, often repetitive, high-pitched songs and calls. Scan the mid-story of dense rainforests, as it can be easily overlooked.
When to spot
Active year-round in its resident tropical lowland habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed in the early morning.
