Spotted
A medium-sized tityra species restricted to the Amazon basin. It is characterized by its largely white plumage with black wings and, distinctively, a white tail.
Where to spot
Humid lowland rainforests in the western Amazon of northern Bolivia and southwestern Brazil.
How to spot
Scan the canopy and upper mid-story of tall forest trees. The white tail, contrasting with black wings and a white body, is the key identification feature for males. Listen for its rather harsh, scratchy calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day, often foraging high in the canopy.
