Roraiman Flycatcher

Myiophobus roraimae

The Roraiman Flycatcher (Myiophobus roraimae) is a small passerine bird found in the tepui regions of South America, particularly in the Guiana Highlands. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, yellowish underparts, and a distinctive white eyering. This species is often observed foraging for insects in the dense undergrowth of montane forests and shrubby areas. The Roraiman Flycatcher is known for its melodious and repetitive song, which is a common sound in its habitat. Although not much is known about its population trends, its restricted range and potential habitat loss due to deforestation raise concerns for its conservation status.

Habitat: Montane forests and shrubby areas
