Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Fairly large gray-brown flycatcher with a long hooked bill and a small crest. Lots of variation in plumage among subspecies, which vary in bill color and in how cold or warm-toned the brown is on the head and back. All subspecies have a pale breast, yellow belly, and a plain brown or dark tail. Found in a variety of woodland and forest edge habitats. Best distinguished from similar flycatchers by its song—“pe-tchew, pe-tchew, prrrr.”
