The Rusty-margined Flycatcher is a common and widespread tyrant flycatcher of the Amazon and Guianan regions. It is characterized by its bright yellow underparts and rusty edgings on its wing feathers.
Where to spot
Found across the Amazon Basin, the Guianas, and parts of southeastern Brazil and northern Bolivia. Prefers forest edges, clearings, and riparian zones, often near water.
How to spot
Look for its bright yellow belly, olive back, and subtle rusty edgings on the wing and tail feathers. It has a black eye-stripe and a hidden yellow crown patch. Listen for its distinctive, often rapid, chattering calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Most active during the morning and late afternoon.
