The Plain Inezia is a small, rather inconspicuous flycatcher with overall dull, plain plumage. It is found in a variety of semi-open and wooded habitats in South America.
Where to spot
Widespread in tropical South America, including Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. It inhabits open woodlands, scrublands, forest edges, and second growth.
How to spot
Look for this small, active bird in the mid to upper story of trees and bushes. Its overall plain appearance means relying on its behavior (quick sallies for insects) and especially its high-pitched, repetitive 'tsi-tsi-tsi' calls for identification.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active during daylight hours, particularly in the morning, when it is foraging.

Its common name 'Plain' accurately describes its plumage, which makes its distinctive high-pitched calls and active foraging behavior even more important for its identification in the field.
