Spotted
The Social Flycatcher is a very common and conspicuous tyrant flycatcher, widely distributed across the Neotropics. It is often found in open areas and disturbed habitats, including towns and cities.
Where to spot
Found from southern Mexico through Central America and much of South America, extending to Argentina. It thrives in open woodlands, forest edges, savannas, parks, gardens, and urban areas.
How to spot
Look for its olive-brown back, bright yellow belly, and prominent black mask with a white supercilium. It has a hidden orange-red crown patch. Its loud, often repetitive, 'chip-chip-cheery!' calls are a characteristic sound of its habitat.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its extensive range. Easily observed throughout the day due to its commonality and conspicuous behavior.

True to its name, the Social Flycatcher is often seen in pairs or small family groups and is quite tolerant of human presence, frequently nesting around human habitations.
