Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

An easily overlooked petite bird of lowland forests that frequents edges, clearings, and even old farms. A typical small, grayish flycatcher with a white throat and belly, a streaky gray chest, black legs, and a mostly dark bill with a pale base. Similar to other African flycatchers, especially Yellow-legged Flycatcher, but note the black legs and streaky chest. Song is a jumble of high-pitched notes and buzzes, and the flight call is a high-pitched “zee.”
