The Gray Elaenia is a small, insectivorous bird found in South America. It has a distinctive gray plumage with a pale throat and a slightly hooked bill. This species is often found in forest edges, open woodlands, and shrubby areas, where it forages for insects by making short sallies from perches. The Gray Elaenia is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard during the breeding season. Although not currently considered globally threatened, habitat loss and degradation are potential threats to its populations.
