Spotted
The Pileated Flycatcher is a small, distinctive flycatcher characterized by a black cap or 'pile' on its head. It is endemic to the humid montane forests of southern Mexico.
Where to spot
Endemic to humid montane forests in southern Mexico, primarily in Oaxaca and Chiapas. It prefers humid evergreen forests, often in the mid to upper story.
How to spot
Look for this small bird in the mid to upper canopy of montane forests. Its black cap is the key identification feature. Listen for its high-pitched, sometimes buzzy calls, which help in detection.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during early morning activity, when it is most vocal and actively foraging.
Its black cap, while prominent, is sometimes partially obscured, and can appear more dusky than pure black depending on lighting and angle of view.
