The Pallid Pewee is a relatively pale, medium-sized flycatcher primarily found in the tropical montane forests of South America. Its muted plumage helps it camouflage within its leafy habitat.

How to spot
Look for its paler overall coloration and typical upright pewee posture. Listen for its simple, often whistled or buzzy calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often more vocal in the mornings. It is a resident species, observable year-round.

This pewee often perches on exposed branches or snags, from which it launches quick sallies to catch flying insects.
