Rufescent Flycatcher

The rufescent flycatcher is 11.5 to 12.5 cm (4.5 to 4.9 in) long. The sexes very similar. Adult males have a brown crown with a partly hidden orange-buff patch in the middle. Both sexes have brown lores and a short warm buff supercilium on an otherwise warm brown face. Their back and rump are warm brown. Their wings are dark brown with rufous-buff edges on the flight feathers and wide rufous-buff tips on the wing coverts; the latter show as two wing bars. Their tail is dark brown. Their throat and underparts are peachy-buff cinnamon that is lightest on the throat and upper breast. Voice: The rufescent flycatcher's dawn song has not been described. Its calls include a "slightly metallic, nasal chieh or tseek, uttered either singly or in series" and a "rattled series of identical notes with a total duration of ⁓0.7‒2.0 ". Often a pair vocalizes in duet with each making one of the calls.
