Tiny10 gUrban

The white-throated flycatcher is 12 to 14 cm (4.7 to 5.5 in) long. Three individuals weighed 10.4 to 11 g (0.37 to 0.39 oz). The sexes are alike. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a brownish olive or olive brown crown and dull buffy-white lores and eye-ring on an otherwise paler brownish olive or olive brown face. Their upperparts are brownish olive or olive brown. Their tail is deep grayish brown with light brownish olive on the feather edges. Voice: The white-throated flycatcher is quite vocal. Its song in northern Central America is "a slightly 2-part rrrreea'ah!" and its call "a harsh, raspy, somewhat nasal rreeaah! or eaaahh!." Both vocalizations are similar elsewhere it the species' range.
