The Pale-footed Flycatcher is a distinctive Myiarchus species found in humid montane forests across the Andes. It is known for its subtle plumage and specific vocalizations.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests along the Andes, from Venezuela to Bolivia. It typically occurs at higher elevations than many other Myiarchus species.
How to spot
Scan the mid-level and canopy of dense montane forests. Listen carefully for its diagnostic calls, which are often the most reliable way to identify this species among similar flycatchers.
When to spot
Present year-round in its mountain habitat. Best observed during periods of active foraging in the morning and late afternoon.
