| Lesser Kiskadee (Philohydor
lictor) (aka Pitangus lictor) |
||||
 |
Brazil
The Lesser Kiskadee is found from Panama to central Brazil with a disjunct population in eastern Brazil. It is always near water perched close to the surface or the ground and is usually found in pairs. |
|||
 |
It is very similar to the Great
Kiskadee Pitangus sulphuratus but is
noticeably smaller and more slender. It has a
proportionately longer and narrower bill and has rufous
edges to the wing.
Photos 2, 3 and 5 show the semi-concealed yellow coronal patch. |
