Chapada Flycatcher

Lathrotriccus griseipectus

The Chapada Flycatcher is a small passerine bird found in the Cerrado region of central Brazil. It is characterized by its greyish-brown plumage, with a distinctive pale grey breast and belly. This bird is often observed perching on low branches or wires, from where it sallies out to catch insects in mid-air. Its song is a series of high-pitched, melodious notes. The Chapada Flycatcher is typically found in open savanna habitats with scattered trees and shrubs, often near water sources. While its population size is not well-documented, it is generally considered to be of least concern in terms of conservation status.
