Apical Flycatcher
Myiarchus apicalis
The apical flycatcher is a typical representative of the Myiarchus flycatchers: a slim, medium-sized bird with few really distinctive features. It is 17 to 18 cm (6.7 to 7.1 in) long and weighs 26 to 33.5 g (0.92 to 1.2 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a brownish olive crown; the crown has a slight crest and darker center feathers that give a streaked appearance. Their face is otherwise gray. Their upperparts are darkish olive. Voice: When confronted by a conspecific, the apical flycatcher makes "epeated rolls, hiccups and whistles". One call is a sharp repeated "weet".
