A medium-sized becard species found in open woodlands and forest edges across South America. Males have a bright green back, grey head, and a white belly.
Where to spot
Open woodlands, forest edges, and second-growth areas in widespread parts of South America, including Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and northern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid-story and canopy, often joining mixed-species flocks. The male's green back and grey head are good field marks. Listen for its clear, whistled calls, often a rising 'weee-wip.'
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day, foraging in the mid-story and canopy.
