Delalande's forest flycatcher

Corythopis delalandi

Delalande's forest flycatcher (Corythopis delalandi) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the forests of South America. It is known for its distinctive vocalizations and agile foraging behavior, often catching insects in mid-air. This species is typically found in the understory of tropical and subtropical forests, where it flits among the dense foliage in search of prey. Delalande's forest flycatcher is characterized by its olive-green plumage, with a pale yellow belly and a distinctive white eye-ring. It is a secretive bird that is often heard more than seen, making it a challenging species to observe in the wild.
