The Napo Stigmatura is a small, active flycatcher known for its long, wagging tail and distinctive striped plumage. It inhabits riparian and scrubby habitats in the Amazon basin.
Where to spot
Found in the western Amazon basin, particularly along river systems in eastern Ecuador and northeastern Peru, and adjacent parts of Colombia. It prefers riparian thickets, scrubby areas, and oxbow lakes.
How to spot
Look for this bird in low, dense vegetation along rivers and oxbow lakes. Its constantly wagging tail is a key identification feature. Its distinct striped face and active movements make it noticeable. Listen for its high-pitched, somewhat buzzy calls.
When to spot
A year-round resident in its lowland riverine habitats. Active throughout the day, often along sunlit edges of vegetation.

Its long tail is not just for balance; it's constantly wagged side-to-side, a behavior that is thought to flush insects from vegetation, making them easier to catch.
