Spotted
Linton's Chlorospingus is a subtly distinct species of the recently reclassified 'chlorospingus' group, now considered a tyrant flycatcher. It inhabits high-altitude cloud forests.
Where to spot
Known from a very restricted range in the high Andes of southern Ecuador and northern Peru, specifically in humid montane forests.
How to spot
Distinguish it by subtle plumage differences from similar 'chlorospingus' species; often requires a good view. It forages actively in the canopy and subcanopy of cloud forests. Listen for its quiet, unassuming calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its localized montane habitat. Often seen as part of mixed-species flocks, particularly in the mornings.
This species is named after its discoverer, William Linton, a collector who extensively documented bird species in the early 20th century.
