Pseudocolopteryx sclateri

This marsh-dwelling flycatcher has a remarkable patchy distribution across much of South America ( Ridgely & Tudor, 2009). In northeastern Brazil, it was known only from southeastern Bahia ( Pinto, 1944; Sick, 1997). One recently photographed at the Marituba do Peixe Protected Area on 16 May 2020 (ML 236683251; E. Vieira) is the only record of the species in the PCE. Curiously, unpublished data had already suggested habitat suitability for this species precisely in the region of this record ( Jordan, 2018).
