Adults of the nominate subspecies have a black or sooty crown and face with a mostly hidden bright yellow patch in the center of the crown. They have a wide white supercilium that begins at the forehead and wraps almost all the way around the nape. They have mostly plain olive upperparts with grayish brown to dark olive uppertail coverts. Their wings are dark grayish brown with pale cinnamon or rufous edges on the flight feathers. Voice: The lesser kiskadee's calls include "a vigorous, buzzy, rather nasal dzay or dzweey", a "more prolonged dzay-dzwey-dwzee-zwee", and "keekzi-deeée, queé-be and dree, dear-wrr". "artners also give chattery ca-déde in greeting."
