Very widespread across Central and South America, from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, found in diverse habitats including open woodlands, clearings, gardens, and agricultural areas.
How to spot
Its bright yellow belly is a key identification feature. It often perches conspicuously on exposed branches or wires, making short sallies for insects. Listen for its distinctive, often buzzy or whistled calls.
