Sad Flycatcher

The sad flycatcher is 16.5 to 17 cm (6.5 to 6.7 in) long and weighs 11.5 to 16 g (0.41 to 0.56 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a smoky olive-brown crown and face; the crown feathers form a crest. Their upperparts are more olive with rufous-tinged olive-brown uppertail coverts. Their wings are mostly brown with pale grayish edges on the tertials. Their greater and median wing coverts have a rufous tinge that forms faint wing bars. Their tail is mostly brown with rufous on the outer webs of some feathers. Voice: The sad flycatcher's call is an emphatic "pip, pip-pip". It also sometimes makes a pip-pip-piree" that rises at the end.
