The Painted Tody-Flycatcher is a visually distinctive small flycatcher, named for its intricate plumage pattern that resembles a 'painted' appearance. It inhabits humid lowland forests, often near water.
Where to spot
Found in various disjunct populations across humid lowland forests of South America, including parts of the Amazon basin and coastal Brazil.
How to spot
Look for its complex facial pattern, broad bill, and small size. It often forages in the lower to mid-story, making quick sallies for insects. Listen for its characteristic, often buzzing calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year. Most active during the day, particularly during the peak foraging hours of early morning and late afternoon.
