Here is a Dusky-capped Flycatcher



From behind.

You might think he looks a lot like the Ash-throated, Brown-crested, and Great Crested Flycatchers…, and you’d be right. They all have a little rufous on the wings and tail, and some yellow underneath. There are variations of each. Accomplished birders tell them apart just by looking at them.

Luckily for us, he was calling incessantly, and his call is distinctive.
