Lophotriccus eulophotes

The Rufous-headed Tody-Flycatcher is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is known for its striking rufous head, olive-green upperparts, and bright yellow underparts. This species is often observed perching motionless on branches, sallying out to catch flying insects. It prefers the dense understory of humid forests and is often found near streams or ravines. The Rufous-headed Tody-Flycatcher is known for its high-pitched, repetitive calls that are characteristic of its habitat. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential threats to its populations.
