Tessmann's Flycatcher Fraseria tessmanni

A plain, strong-billed rainforest flycatcher that is dark gray and black on the upperparts and pale below. Sometimes shows a vague darker gray band across the breast. Scarce and local in rainforest clearings, secondary forest, overgrown plantations, and forest edge, mostly at the middle levels. Most similar to Dusky-blue Flycatcher, but has much paler underparts. Also similar to Cassin’s Flycatcher, but has paler underparts, and not strongly associated with water. Similar in coloration to Little Gray Flycatcher, but much larger and paler below. The song is pretty and thrush-like: a mixture of whistles and trills given at a conversational rhythm.
