The Slaty-capped Flycatcher is a medium-sized elaenia, recognized by its dark slaty-grey cap that contrasts with its olive-green back and yellowish underparts. It prefers humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes in South America, from Venezuela to Bolivia.
How to spot
Identify it by its dark slaty cap and olive-green back. It perches upright, sallying for insects from the mid-story to canopy. Listen for its distinct, often rapid and emphatic calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its montane habitat. Most active during early mornings, often joining mixed-species flocks.
