The Yellow-winged Flatbill is a distinctive flycatcher with bright yellow wing edgings and a broad, flattened bill. It is typically found in the mid-story and canopy of humid tropical forests.
Where to spot
Distributed across Central and South America, ranging from Costa Rica south through the Amazon basin to parts of Brazil and Bolivia.
How to spot
Identify it by its broad bill and bright yellow wing edgings. It often perches quietly, making quick sallies for insects from the subcanopy or mid-story. Listen for its high-pitched, whistled notes.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the morning and late afternoon, when its calls are more frequently heard.
