Rufous-tailed Flatbill is a fairly common flycatcher of lowland forest in northern South America. It is somewhat solitary in areas of open understory in varzea and terra firme lowland humid forest, primarily in the Orinoco and Amazon drainages. The species is a distinctive, small flycatcher, mostly olive on the body with an obviously rufous tail and blackish wings with rufous edging. The Rufous-tailed Flatbill is most frequently located by its call, a two-part whistle with the first part long and rising and the second part lower and abbreviated.
