The Sulphur-rumped Flycatcher is a small, greenish flycatcher with a distinctive pale yellow or sulfur-colored rump that is often visible in flight. It inhabits the mid-story and canopy of various forest types.
Where to spot
Widespread across Central and South America, from southeastern Mexico to northern Argentina, found in humid and semi-humid forests and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for its overall olive-green plumage and especially the bright yellow rump, which is most noticeable when it takes flight. It often perches upright, sallying for insects from the mid-canopy. Listen for its high-pitched, whistled calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the morning and late afternoon hours, when foraging for insects.

The bright yellow rump patch is particularly striking in contrast to its otherwise duller plumage, making it a key identification feature when seen from above.
