The Rufescent Flycatcher is a small, active flycatcher with a noticeable rufous wash over its plumage, particularly on the wings and tail. It inhabits humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests of western South America, particularly in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru. It prefers humid evergreen forests and cloud forests.
How to spot
Look for this small, active bird in the mid to upper canopy of montane forests. Pay attention to the rufous tones in its wings and tail. It performs active sallies for insects. Its high-pitched, sometimes trilled calls are important for detection.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active during the morning and late afternoon, when it forages for insects.

Its 'rufescent' (reddish-brown) coloration is more pronounced than many of its close relatives, helping birders distinguish it from other subtle flycatchers in its complex habitats.
