The Grey Silky-flycatcher is a medium-sized, elegant bird with soft, silky grey plumage, a prominent crest, and a long tail. It is known for its graceful aerial maneuvers.
Where to spot
Found in highlands from southern Mexico through Central America to western Panama, inhabiting montane pine-oak and evergreen forests.
How to spot
Look in the mid-canopy and outer branches of montane forests. It often perches upright and makes quick sallies to catch insects or pluck berries. Its silky grey plumage and crest are key features.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the morning and late afternoon. More vocal during the breeding season (spring/summer).

Like other silky-flycatchers, it has specialized digestive tracts that allow it to efficiently process large quantities of fruit, particularly mistletoe berries.
