ID tip
The unadorned flycatcher is about 11.5 cm (4.5 in) long and weighs about 9 to 12 g (0.32 to 0.42 oz). The sexes have almost identical plumage. Adult males have an olive crown with a mostly hidden yellow or orange patch in the middle. Females do not have this patch. Both sexes have a yellowish line above the lores and an obvious yellowish eye-ring on an otherwise olive face. Their back and rump are olive. Their wings are dusky with cinnamon rufous edges on the flight feathers and tips of the wing coverts; the latter show as two wing bars. Voice: The unadorned flycatcher's vocalizations are not well known; as of early 2025 xeno-canto had nine recordings and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library had 11. Its call is "an explosive, thin, sharp tsickl".
