Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher

The long-tailed silky-flycatcher is 20 to 24.4 cm (7.9 to 9.6 in) long and weighs about 37 g (1.3 oz). It is a slender bird with a prominent crest and a long tail whose central pair of feathers extend beyond the others. Adult males have a gray forehead and crown and a thin yellow eye-ring. The rest of their face, their crest, and their neck are yellowish olive-green. Their back, rump, uppertail coverts and upperwing coverts are bluish gray. Their flight feathers and tail are black with most tail feathers having a large white patch in their middle. Voice: The long-tailed silky-flycatcher makes a "wooden and staccato (but sweet) chittering". Its vocalizations have also been described as "a sharp, dry che chip, che chip, likened to sound of loose pebbles in a box when uttered by a flock", "a rattling che-e-e-e-e or bell-like tinkling note" in flight, and "low lisping notes punctuated by louder che chip notes".
