The Loja Flycatcher is a small, somewhat plain flycatcher with olive-brown upperparts and pale underparts. It is endemic to a restricted region of the Andes in southern Ecuador.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of southern Ecuador, particularly in the provinces of Loja and Zamora-Chinchipe. It inhabits humid evergreen forests.
How to spot
Locating this localized flycatcher requires visiting its specific montane forest habitat in southern Ecuador. Look for its small size and subtle plumage in the mid to upper canopy. Listen for its high-pitched, slightly buzzy calls, which are crucial for detection.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during early morning activity, when it is most vocal and actively foraging.
