ID tip

The Sierra de Lema flycatcher is 12.5 to 13.5 cm (4.9 to 5.3 in) long and weighs about 13 g (0.46 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a bright greenish olive head, nape, back, and rump. Their wings and tail are dusky olive. Their throat and underparts are rich dark cinnamon with a dark grayish olive wash on the throat and upper breast. Both sexes have a dark brown iris, a black bill, and medium gray legs and feet. Voice: As of late 2024 xeno-canto had only two recordings of Sierra de Lema flycatcher vocalizations; the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library had 16. The species has a "chatter song", a "series of unmelodious modulated notes, which sounds like a jumbled chatter...typically introduced by short single chup notes, and suddenly shifts to a loud jangle of c.10–15 notes".
