The northern tropical pewee (Contopus bogotensis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in southeastern Mexico to northern South America from northern Colombia to northeastern Brazil. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
A small, average-looking flycatcher, found at forest edges and open woodlands in tropical areas at low elevations. Its behavior is similar to that of the North American flycatchers: it usually perches on a conspicuous, prominent branch to drop for insects, and returns to the same branch, calling as it perches, and sometimes flicking its tail. It does not flick its wings and tail like other flycatchers in the genus Empidonax. The Eastern and Western Flycatchers occur as migratory birds in the Tropical range during the fall and spring, but they have wings that extend beyond the tail when perched and their calls are different.
