The Tawny-crowned Flycatcher is a small, distinctive flycatcher named for its rufous-colored crown. It inhabits humid montane forests in Central America.
Where to spot
Found in Central America, specifically in Costa Rica and Panama. It prefers humid montane evergreen forests, particularly in the understory and mid-story.
How to spot
Look for this small bird in the lower to mid-story of montane forests. Try to observe its rufous crown. It often forages by gleaning insects from foliage. Its vocalizations, often a soft 'cheet' or 'tsip', are important for detection.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Most active during the morning and late afternoon, when it forages quietly in dense vegetation.

The rufous crown is often partially obscured by surrounding feathers but can be glimpsed, especially in good light or when the bird is agitated, adding a touch of color to its otherwise olive-brown plumage.
