Description

The yellow-olive flatbill or yellow-olive flycatcher (Tolmomyias sulphurescens) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in tropical and subtopical forest and woodland in Central and South America, but over its range there are significant variations in plumage, iris-colour and voice, leading to speculations that more than one species is involved. Its plumage is overall greenish-yellow, the lores are whitish, the crown is often greyish and some subspecies have a dusky patch on the auriculars. The flat bill is black above and pale pinkish or greyish below; similar to the yellow-margined flatbill, but unlike the grey-crowned flatbill.
Size
16 cm
Feeding Habits
Yellow-olive Flycatcher's diet consists primarily of insects such as beetles, ants, and bugs from the Homoptera order. It also consumes beetles from the Scolytidae family and occasionally feeds on small berries. Yellow-olive Flycatcher forages by actively hunting its prey, showcasing specialized feeding behaviors and adaptations.
Habitat
Yellow-olive Flycatcher typically resides in a rich mosaic of dry to humid forest environments, favoring areas such as the peripheries of humid and montane forests, deciduous and gallery forests, as well as shady plantations and tall secondary growth. These birds are also found in isolated woodlots and riparian zones, including river islands. Further, they inhabit coastal wooded sand ridges and savanna forests. Yellow-olive Flycatcher predominantly occupies lowland regions below 1500 meters but can be found up to 1900 meters in certain mountainous areas. The species generally avoids the interior of humid lowland forests where closely related species are prevalent.
