Spotted
The Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher is an elegant and slender bird, characterized by its soft grey plumage, prominent crest, and especially its very long, pointed tail. It is a distinctive forest dweller.
Where to spot
Found in highlands from southern Mexico through Central America to western Panama, inhabiting humid montane forests, cloud forests, and forest borders.
How to spot
Look in the canopy and sub-canopy of montane forests. It often perches on exposed branches. Its long tail and prominent crest are key identifiers. Listen for its high-pitched, whistled calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the morning and late afternoon. More conspicuous during the breeding season (spring/summer).

Its extremely long tail, sometimes longer than its body, is a striking feature, particularly noticeable in flight, giving it a streamlined and graceful appearance.
