Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

An aptly named flycatcher of the lower parts of the forest edge and forest clearings. Overall grayish with a white belly, a white throat, a uniform gray chest, a mostly yellow bill, and unique bright yellow legs. Similar to many other African flycatchers, but the yellow feet and bill set it apart. Call is a descending whistled “tzeer,” and song is a series of buzzy “dji-dji-dji-dji!” notes.
