Spotted
The Tufted Flycatcher is a small, energetic flycatcher named for its distinctive, often raised crest or 'tuft' of feathers on its head. It is a common resident of highland forests.
Where to spot
Widespread in montane evergreen forests and cloud forests from Mexico through Central America to northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia).
How to spot
Look for its crest and active foraging behavior in the mid-story and canopy. It often sallies out from a perch to catch insects, returning to the same spot.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often more conspicuous during breeding season (typically spring/summer in its northern range, varies by latitude). Observable year-round in resident areas.

Its prominent crest can be raised or lowered depending on the bird's mood or activity, giving it a very expressive appearance.
