VARIEGATED FLYCATCHER Empidonomus variegatus
The streaky-looking Variegated Flycatcher is a summer visitor from northern South America. They are noisy birds, calling regularly. Though they may look distinctive they can be extremely difficult to separate from the Streaked Flycatcher at times, and are best distinguished by their shape - this species being a smaller, shorter-billed bird with a littler head!!
