ID tip

The yellow-throated flycatcher is 15 to 16.5 cm (5.9 to 6.5 in) long and weighs about 21 g (0.74 oz). The sexes have the same plumage; females are slightly smaller than males. Adults have a black to dark sooty brownish crown and face with a mostly hidden lemon-yellow to canary-yellow patch in the center of the crown. They have a white supercilium that begins at the forehead, widens behind the eye, and wraps almost all the way around the nape. Their upperparts vary from grayish olive-green to dark olive or olive-brown. Their wings are dusky and browner than the upperparts. Voice: The yellow-throated flycatcher's call is described as a rather loud "distinctive quick, rhythmic, petulant-sounding, and nearly trilled or ringing quee-le-le, cue-le-le or weedle-de, weedle-de-wee" that is often repeated many times.
