The Rufous-faced Flycatcher is a small, distinctive flycatcher named for its prominent rufous-colored face. It inhabits humid montane forests of the northern Andes.
Where to spot
Distributed along the Andes, from northern Venezuela and Colombia south through Ecuador. It prefers humid montane forests, cloud forests, and forest edges, typically at middle to high elevations.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of montane forests for this small bird. Its diagnostic rufous face is the key identification feature. Listen for its high-pitched, simple calls, which can help pinpoint its location.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during early morning activity, when it is most vocal and actively foraging.
