Grey-crowned Flycatcher

Tolmomyias poliocephalus

The Grey-crowned Flycatcher (Tolmomyias poliocephalus) is a small passerine bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is known for its distinctive grey crown and olive-green upperparts, with a yellowish belly and white throat. This flycatcher is often observed perching on branches, making short sallies to catch insects in mid-air. It is a vocal species, with a sharp, high-pitched call. The Grey-crowned Flycatcher is typically found in the canopy and understory of humid forests, where it forages for insects. While it is not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and deforestation are potential future threats to its population.
