| Short-crested Flycatcher Myiarchus ferox |
||||
 |
Brazil and Peru
The Short-crested Flycatcher is distributed throughout most of tropical South America east of the Andes and into the sub-tropics in Paraguay and northern Argentina. See the distribution map at Birdlife International. Like most Myiarchus flycatchers it is found mainly on edges and borders of forest and woodland. |

It is similar to other members of its genus but look for the all black bill, the two dull grey wing-bars and the
pale grey edging to the wing feathers. The bird in photo 4 showing rufous edging to the tail feathers is in fresh plumage.
The voice is distinctive. |
