Spotted
A medium-sized, rather plain becard species found in the humid lowland forests of western South America. Males are a uniform slaty-grey with a darker cap.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests on the Pacific slope of southwestern Colombia and western Ecuador.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story and subcanopy of tall forests, often joining mixed-species flocks. Its plain slaty-grey plumage can be difficult to discern, but listen for its high-pitched, whistled calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the early morning.
