The Rufous Mourner is a medium-sized Cotinga (not a flycatcher, though often associated with them), known for its rich rufous plumage and distinctive, mournful calls. It is a resident of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Widespread in the mid-story and sub-canopy of humid lowland forests, forest edges, and mature secondary growth, from Central America to northern South America.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, far-carrying, and mournful calls. Look for its uniform rufous plumage, often perched upright and motionless for long periods, making it hard to spot.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, especially vocal during the mornings and late afternoons. Observable year-round in its resident range.

Its loud, drawn-out, and melancholy vocalizations are a characteristic sound of the Neotropical rainforest, giving it its common name.
