Traylor's Flatbill is a rather elusive and restricted-range flycatcher, similar in general appearance to other flatbills but with subtle distinctions in its plumage. It prefers humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Known from very restricted areas of humid lowland forest in northern Peru, making it a highly localized species.
How to spot
Requires specific knowledge of its calls and subtle plumage differences from similar flatbills. Look for its typical flatbill foraging style in the forest mid-story. Given its rarity, consulting local guides is often beneficial.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its limited range. Observations are most likely during early morning when it is most active.
