The Northern Ochre-bellied Flycatcher is a small, unobtrusive bird found in humid tropical forests, recognized by its subtle olive-green plumage and faint ochre wash on its belly. It often feeds on small fruits.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests in parts of northern South America, particularly Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador.
How to spot
Look for its subtle olive and ochre tones. It tends to be inconspicuous, foraging quietly in the understory and mid-story. Listen for its distinctive, often repeated 'pip' calls.
When to spot
Year-round, most active during the early morning.

This flycatcher, like its close relatives, plays an important ecological role as a seed disperser, consuming small fruits and contributing to forest regeneration.
