Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Small flycatcher found in foothill and subtropical forest from around 800-2200m. Grizzled face pattern with bold black and white crescent on cheek like some other bristle-tyrants and tyrannulets. Look for all dark bill and yellow wingbars to identify Marble-faced. Sexes alike. Found singly or in pairs, usually in lower to middle levels of forest, often following a mixed speices flock. Voice is also important: a descending sputter followed by a few rising “tseep!” notes.
