Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Small flycatcher found near streams in Andean cloud forest. Plumage is mostly gray with a chestnut breast patch and bold white eyebrows that really stand out in the dark forest. Most common vocalization is a drawn out, high pitched “peeeeeer” that can be heard over the sound of rushing water. When agitated, also gives a raucous series of “pee-didit” calls. Formerly lumped with Chestnut-bellied Chat-Tyrant.
