The Yellow-throated Flycatcher is a medium-sized tyrant flycatcher found in the Guianas and parts of the Amazon Basin. It is characterized by its bright yellow throat and subtle head pattern.
Where to spot
Found in the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana) and adjacent parts of northern Brazil and Venezuela. Inhabits humid lowland forest, especially around canopy clearings and edges.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of humid forests. Look for its bright yellow throat and chest, contrasting with a dark crown and subtle pale supercilium. Listen for its distinctive, often high-pitched, chattering calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round within its range. Best observed during early morning and late afternoon when foraging activity is high.
