Yellow-browed Tody-Flycatcher

The Yellow-browed Tody-Flycatcher occurs in eastern Ecuador, where it inhabits humid lowland forests, swampy margins, and degraded woodland edges below about 600 meters. Though generally uncommon and inconspicuous, it is locally present in suitable Amazonian habitat, often detected by its sharp, insect-like calls and rapid movements through dense understory foliage. The species is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, with a broad range across northern South America and a population suspected to be slowly declining due to habitat loss. Natural history observations highlight its insectivorous diet, territorial behavior, and nesting in concealed sites within low vegetation, with both sexes contributing to parental care.
