The Pacific Flatbill is a distinct species of flatbill, characterized by its broad bill and relatively plain plumage. It is found in specific regions of humid lowland and foothill forests along the Pacific coast.
Where to spot
Occurs along the Pacific slopes of northwestern South America, from western Colombia to southwestern Ecuador, primarily in humid lowland forests.
How to spot
Identify it by its broad, flat bill and relatively uniform olive-green plumage. It often perches motionless, waiting for insects, before making quick, agile flights. Scan the mid-story of humid forests.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Observations are generally best during the active foraging periods of early morning and late afternoon.
