THREE-STRIPED FLYCATCHER Conopias trivirgata
Bounding around the tree-tops in noisy groups giving their harsh, grating call, the Three-striped Flycatcher is a distinctive species. Taking a quick glance in the field guide however you may think this to be a ridiculous statement given its similarity in plumage to the Social Flycatcher and the larger kiskadees. However, trust me, there is no need to concentrate on throat colour, or lengths and widths of head bands to tell the two species apart - they vocalise and behave very differently!
