Brujo Flycatcher

The brujo flycatcher is about 13 to 14 cm (5.1 to 5.5 in) long and weighs 11 to 14 g (0.39 to 0.49 oz). Adult males have a bright vermilion, scarlet, or orange forehead and crown down to the eye. Their lores and ear coverts are blackish brown and form a "mask" that continues around their nape. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are blackish brown, with slightly paler remiges and wing coverts. The lower part of their face, their throat, and their underparts are the same shade of red as their crown. Adult females have a grayish brown head with an indistinct grayish supercilium. Voice: As of April 2025 xeno-canto had seven recordings of the brujo flycatcher vocalizations and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library had 10 with no overlap between them. The species sings during an undulating circular flight display, with the song described as "loudly whispering chew wit" followed by a "sharp mechanical snap".
