Olive-colored Flatbill

Fraseria olivascens

The Olive-colored Flatbill (Fraseria olivascens) is a small, insect-eating bird found in the Amazon rainforest of South America. It is characterized by its olive-green plumage, with a slightly lighter underside and a distinct flat bill. These birds are often found in the mid-story and canopy of the forest, where they forage for insects and small fruits. They are known for their distinctive call, which is a series of sharp, high-pitched notes. The Olive-colored Flatbill is an important part of the Amazonian ecosystem, contributing to the control of insect populations. However, due to habitat loss and deforestation, their populations are declining, and they are currently listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN.
