Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Small, tufted flycatcher found locally in lowland rainforest. Perches upright, making quick flights between perches to catch flying insects. Brown, with long crest feathers that are speckled black and white. Occurs singly or in pairs in bamboo or dense secondary growth; occasionally joins mixed-species flocks. Its song is a series of short “pit” calls that accelerate into a short descending trill.
