Brown-crested Flycatcher, Myiarchus tyrannulus
|
|
![]() Myiarchus flycatchers are a regular identification challenge in Arizona, where three similar species overlap. I got the assurance of an experienced Arizona birder that this was a Brown-crested -- based on the large bill, relatively bright and extensive yellow on the underparts, and particularly the extensive rufous running all the way to the tip of the tail. Dusky-capped has less rufous, and Ash-throated is brown at the undertail tip. |
