The Citron-bellied Doradito is a small, subtly colored flycatcher, characterized by a pale yellow or 'citron' wash on its underparts. It inhabits wetlands and marshy areas, often clinging to vegetation.
Where to spot
Found in scattered wetlands and marshy areas of southeastern Brazil, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its small size and pale yellow belly. It typically remains low in dense reeds and grasses, making it difficult to spot. Listening for its short, buzzy calls is often the best way to locate it.
When to spot
Resident year-round, though some populations might undertake local seasonal movements. Most active in the morning.
