Olive-striped Flycatcher

Oncostoma olivaceum

The Olive-striped Flycatcher is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical and subtropical forests of Central and South America. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, yellowish underparts, and distinctive olive stripe running from the bill through the eye. This species is known for its agile aerial foraging behavior, often catching insects on the wing. It builds cup-shaped nests in the understory of forests and lays 2-3 eggs per clutch. The Olive-striped Flycatcher is a delightful sight to birdwatchers, as it flits among the foliage with its distinctive plumage and energetic movements.
