The Grey-capped Flatbill is a small to medium-sized flycatcher, recognized by its gray crown and broad, flattened bill. It typically inhabits the mid-story and canopy of humid montane and lowland forests.
Where to spot
Widespread across South America, particularly in the Amazon basin, the Guianas, and parts of the Atlantic Forest, favoring humid and semi-humid forests.
How to spot
Look for its grey cap and broad bill. It often perches quietly on exposed branches, making agile sallies to catch insects. Listen for its distinctive, often buzzy or trilled calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the day, with peaks in foraging activity in the early morning and late afternoon.

This species often constructs a flat, shallow cup nest on top of a larger, horizontal branch, unlike many flycatchers that build hanging nests.
