The Broad-billed Tody-Tyrant is a distinctive small flycatcher named for its notably wide, flattened bill. This unique bill is adapted for catching insects in flight or gleaning them from foliage.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland forests and forest edges across parts of South America, including the Amazon basin and southeastern Brazil.
How to spot
Identify it by its broad, flat bill and active foraging behavior. It often perches openly and makes quick aerial sallies for insects. Listen for its sharp, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Present year-round within its range. Best observed during the active periods of early morning and late afternoon.
