The White-ringed Flycatcher is a distinctive and relatively uncommon tyrant flycatcher of Central and South America. It is recognized by its prominent white head stripes and robust bill.
Where to spot
Found from Costa Rica and Panama south to Colombia and Ecuador. Inhabits humid foothill and lower montane forests, often along forest edges or near clearings.
How to spot
Look for its striking head pattern: a black cap with two broad white stripes extending from above the eye to the nape, giving it a 'white-ringed' appearance. Its bill is relatively heavy, and its underparts are yellowish.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the morning and late afternoon.
