Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Beautiful little flycatcher found in dry forest in northwestern Peru, and just barely reaching over the border into Ecuador. Striking plumage is distinctive in range; note especially the black mask, yellow eyebrow, and white wingbars. Usually perches quietly at middle levels inside the forest; easy to overlook until it suddenly sallies out after an insect. Vocalizations include soft whistles and sputtering trills.
