Bran-colored Flycatcher
Myiophobus fasciatus
The bran-colored flycatcher is 11 to 14 cm (4.3 to 5.5 in) long and weighs 7.1 to 17 g (0.25 to 0.60 oz). The sexes very similar. Adult males of the nominate subspecies M. f. fasciatus have a reddish brown crown with a partly hidden yellow to orange-rufous patch in the middle. Both sexes have brown lores, a short yellowish white line above them, and a thin white eye-ring on an otherwise reddish brown face. Their back and rump are reddish brown. Voice: The bran-colored flycatcher's vocalizations appear to geographically vary somewhat. In Costa Rica it makes "a whistled whee, whee, whee...". In Venezuela its dawn song is "a husky, whistled tep, chew-e" that is repeated over and over. During the day it makes a "short, squeezed wee'he 'he'he'e, nasal, almost rattlelike". In Peru it sings "a repetitive series of rich notes: tchew...weet...tchee'wit.
