The Slender-billed Inezia is a small, pale flycatcher characterized by its delicate, slender bill. It inhabits arid and semi-arid scrublands and woodlands in South America.
Where to spot
Found in northern South America, particularly in parts of Colombia and Venezuela. It prefers dry scrub, thorny woodlands, and gallery forests.
How to spot
Look for its small size and pale plumage in low to mid-level vegetation. Its slender bill is a key diagnostic feature. Listen for its high-pitched, often sibilant calls, which can be hard to pinpoint.
When to spot
A year-round resident in its range. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.

Its unusually thin bill, for a flycatcher, suggests a feeding specialization, possibly for gleaning small insects from crevices or fine foliage, rather than broad-billed fly-catching.
