Large-headed Flatbill

Ramphotrigon megacephalum

The Large-headed Flatbill, scientifically known as Ramphotrigon megacephalum, is a small passerine bird found in the tropical forests of South America. This species is characterized by its large head and short bill, which it uses to feed on insects and small fruits. The plumage of the Large-headed Flatbill is predominantly olive-green with a yellowish belly and a distinctive black patch on the throat. It is known for its distinctive call, a series of high-pitched notes that can often be heard echoing through the forest understory. This species is generally elusive and prefers to inhabit dense vegetation, making it challenging to observe in the wild.
