This neotropical flycatcher is recognized by its distinctive dark crown. It is a widespread resident of humid montane forests in South America.
Where to spot
Found in the Andes from Venezuela south through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and into Bolivia. It inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and sometimes forest borders.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid to upper canopy of montane forests. Its dark cap contrasting with an olive back and pale belly is a key visual clue, along with its characteristic calls.
When to spot
Resident and observable year-round. Activity is highest in the early morning and late afternoon, when it actively forages.

Unlike some Myiarchus species that prefer more open habitats, the Dark-capped Flycatcher is typically found within the interior of humid montane forests.
