What the Dusky-chested Flycatcher sounds like



ID tip
The dusky-chested flycatcher is the smallest member of genus Myiozetetes. It is 14 to 15 cm (5.5 to 5.9 in) long and weighs about 16.5 g (0.58 oz). The sexes have almost the same plumage. Adult males of the nominate subspecies have a grayish olive-brown crown and face with a mostly hidden yellow-orange patch in the center of the crown. Females have a smaller patch or none at all. Adults of both sexes have dark olive-brown upperparts. Their wings are dark olive-brown with faint and variable rufous edges on the flight feathers. Their throat is whitish with faint dusky streaks. Voice: The dusky-chested flycatcher's most common call is "a nasal, cat-like meeow or softer neea". It makes a "fast nasal nyeeuw-nyeeuw, keep-kít or neea-ne-wít" when it is excited; sometimes pairs do this in duet. It also makes simple, often repeated, "keeuw or nyeeuw" calls.
