It is characterized by its olive plumage on the back and white on the belly, with a distinctive white stripe above the eye. This passerine is often seen catching insects in flight, thanks to its agile and swift movements. It prefers dense undergrowth where it can easily hide. Although discreet, its melodious and repetitive song often reveals its presence. It plays an important role in the ecosystem by regulating insect populations.

Photography tips:
To photograph the White-browed Flycatcher, it is advisable to use a telephoto lens of at least 400mm to capture detailed images without disturbing the bird. Look for it in the dense undergrowth of humid tropical forests, where it is often active during the day. Be patient and attentive to its melodious song to locate its position. Make sure to maintain a safe distance of at least 5 meters to avoid disturbing it. Use a tripod to stabilize your camera and achieve sharp images, especially in the low-light conditions of the undergrowth.
