Spotted
The Large Elaenia is a robust and relatively large elaenia, often with a subtle crest, making it stand out from its smaller relatives. It inhabits humid lowland forests and forest edges.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland forests and forest edges across northern South America, particularly in the Guianas and parts of the Amazon basin.
How to spot
Look for its larger size and more robust build compared to other elaenias. It often perches conspicuously and makes deliberate sallies for insects. Listen for its distinctive, often churring or whistled calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active throughout the day, often seen foraging in the mid-story and subcanopy.

Similar to its name, this elaenia is indeed larger than most of its genus, with a more substantial bill, reflecting a broader diet or foraging strategy.
