ID tip
The olive tufted flycatcher is 12 to 13 cm (4.7 to 5.1 in) long and weighs about 8.5 g (0.30 oz). The sexes have the same plumage and both have an erect pointed crest. Adults have an olive crown, a pale spot above the lores, and a thin buff-white eye-ring on an otherwise olive face. Their upperparts are olive. Their wings are dusky with grayish olive ends on the coverts that show as two wing bars. They have faint pale edges on their secondaries and tertials. Their tail is dusky. Voice: The olive tufted flycatcher's song is "a series of high musical chips followed by a loud, high, descending whistle: tchi-tchi'SEEEW!" and its call is "a rapid series of high, musical chips" tchi-tchi=-tchi-tchi-tchi". It occasionally gives the song's SEEEW! note by itself.
