Where to spot
Found in the understory of humid lowland forests across northern South America, including Venezuela, the Guianas, Brazil, and parts of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
How to spot
Look for its large head and flat bill in dense undergrowth. Listen for its distinctive, often trilled or buzzy calls, which are key to its detection in dimly lit forest.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often more vocal in the mornings. It is a resident species, observable year-round.
