Small24 gForest

The three-striped flycatcher is the smallest member of genus Conopias. It is 13.5 to 14.5 cm (5.3 to 5.7 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies C t. trivirgatus have a dusky brown crown and face with a white supercilium that begins at the lores and wraps all the way around the nape. Their upperparts are pale olive. Their wings are dusky with faint paler tips the coverts and paler edges on the tertials. Their tail is dusky. Their chin, throat, and underparts are bright lemon-yellow with a faint olive tinge on the breast. Subspecies C. t. Voice: The three-striped flycatcher has several calls. The most often heard is "an abrasive and jarring jew or jeeuw, swiftly and frantically repeated". In Peru it makes "a rather thick-sounding and low-pitched chu-burr" that is repeated by a pair several times as a duet. In Brazil it makes an "irregular series of chew-chew-... notes".
