The Sepia-capped Flycatcher is a small, inconspicuous bird found in humid lowland and foothill forests, characterized by its brownish-grey cap and olive-green body.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests, and dense secondary growth, across a wide range from southern Mexico to northern South America.
How to spot
Look for its dull brownish-grey cap. It tends to be solitary and quiet. Scan the understory and mid-story carefully for its subtle movements and listen for its thin, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Year-round, often most active during early mornings.

This flycatcher is often observed making precise, acrobatic sallies from a perch to snatch insects from the undersides of leaves or in mid-air.
