The Ochre-lored Flatbill is a relatively widespread and variable species of flycatcher, characterized by a faint ochre wash on its lores (area between eye and bill). It inhabits the mid-story and canopy of various forest types.
Where to spot
Widespread across Central and South America, found in humid and semi-humid forests, forest edges, and second growth.
How to spot
Look for its broad, flat bill and subtle ochre lore. It often perches quietly for extended periods, then makes short, direct flights to snatch insects. Its vocalizations, often sharp chips or whistles, are key for identification.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year. Best observed during early mornings and late afternoons when foraging activity is highest.
