Spotted
The Solitary Cacique is a medium-sized, glossy black icterid with a slender, pale bluish-grey bill. As its name suggests, it is often found alone or in pairs, foraging quietly in the understory and mid-story of humid forests.
Where to spot
Found in South America, particularly in the Amazon basin of Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador. Inhabits humid lowland rainforests and mature secondary growth, often near water.
How to spot
Look for a uniformly glossy black bird with a pale bill, often moving quietly through the undergrowth or mid-story. Listen for its characteristic bubbling or whistled calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when foraging activity is higher. Can be inconspicuous due to its solitary nature.

Unlike many other caciques, this species does not nest colonially; instead, it builds solitary, hanging nests, which is reflected in its common name.
