Northern migrant. A tiny bit larger than other myiarchus flycatchers, with a usually lowered brown crest that contrasts the grey face. |
More greyish overall than other myiarchus. Seen more at forest edges and degraded forest than the forest-based Dusky-capped Flycatcher. |
Dusky cap darker than others in genus. Widespread and sometimes common, in lowlands up to midranges (1500m) in the Andes. Note distinctive 'wheeew' call, and usually found inside the forest or at the edge. Individual with a slightly less dusky cap. |
