Slaty-capped Flycatcher

Poecilotriccus capitalis

The Slaty-capped Flycatcher is a small, insectivorous bird found in the forests of Central and South America. It is characterized by its distinctive slaty-gray cap, olive-green upperparts, and yellowish underparts. This species is known for its agile foraging behavior, often catching insects in mid-air or from foliage. It prefers to inhabit the understory and edges of humid forests, where it can be seen perching on branches and sallying out to catch prey. The Slaty-capped Flycatcher is generally considered to be of least concern in terms of conservation status, as it has a relatively wide distribution and stable population.

Habitat: Humid forests and forest edges
