Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Small, attractive flycatcher found in humid forest along the east slope of the Andes. Eyebrow is thick and yellow at the base of the bill, becoming thin and white behind the eye, and it also has bold, rusty wingbars. Similar to wing-barred races of Crowned Chat-Tyrant, but white part of eyebrow is shorter and thinner. Also very similar to Jelski’s Chat-Tyrant, but yellow part of eyebrow is slightly larger, and the two species are not known to overlap. Inhabits forest understory and easy to overlook if not vocalizing. Typical song is a high, fast trill that briefly goes up in pitch before steadily descending.
