Observation details

Myiarchus flycatcher first identified by “wheer” call. Merlin Sound ID suggested a possible dusky-capped flycatcher. Once found, it was quite approachable, so we got some good photos and a couple of sound recordings. We don’t have much experience with Myiarchus flycatchers, but compared to the numerous ash-throated flycatchers, the belly seemed much brighter yellow and the tail was brown and lacked any rufous tones on the top and underneath. Comparing images in Sibley’s guide, the head and face did seem completely brown and the rufous on the secondaries was reduced. Wing bars were faint.
