The grey-breasted flycatcher (Lathrotriccus griseipectus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in western Ecuador and northwestern Peru.

Size
13 cm
Feeding Habits
Grey-breasted Flycatcher's primary diet consists of insects. It forages by perching inconspicuously and making sallies from the understory to catch prey in sunlit areas, occasionally feeding at army-ant swarms.
Habitat
The grey-breasted Flycatcher principally occupies the lower strata of humid and deciduous forests. These birds thrive in environments that are rich in moisture, typically found in regions with dense vegetation that offers ample foraging opportunities. Avoiding higher elevations, they are most abundant in areas closer to sea level, where the ecological conditions are favorable for their survival and breeding.
