Identification
Very small grayish-brown flycatcher, with brighter orangey color on the face and forehead. Occurs in dry areas and pastures with scattered trees and bushes where it mostly forages near the ground and is typically difficult to spot. It is very noisy, emitting squeaky “plee-plit-irick” calls, sometimes in a duet. Occurs in western Ecuador and northwestern Peru.
