Flammulated Flycatcher (Papamoscas Jaspeado)
The flammulated flycatcher (''Ramphotrigon flammulatum'') is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It was formerly placed in the monotypic genus ''Deltarhynchus'' but was moved to the genus ''Ramphotrigon'' based on genetic analysis. It is endemic to the dry deciduous forest, arid thorn forest, and scrubby woodland of Mexico’s Pacific coast. The flycatcher is an olive to gray-brown bird with a streaked, pale gray chest, white throat, black bill, dark gray feet, and dark brown wings. It is a skulking bird that typically remains hidden in the underbrush. It feeds by gleaning insects off of leaves and twigs that it spots from an exposed perch. The female lays approximately three eggs in a nest made in a shallow tree cavity. Taxonomy The species was first described in 1875 by ornithologist George Newbold Lawrence, who placed this species in the genus ''Myiarchus''. However, in 1893 it was split from ''Myiarchus'' into the new, monotypic genus ''Deltarhynchus'' by Robert Ridgwa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Large-headed Flatbill
The large-headed flatbill (''Ramphotrigon megacephalum''), also known as the bamboo flatbill, is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains. The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is a crucia ...s.

Tyrant Flycatcher
The tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) are a family of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America. They are considered the largest family of birds known to exist in the world, with more than 400 species. They are the most diverse avian family in every country in the Americas, except for the United States and Canada. The members vary greatly in shape, patterns, size and colors. Some tyrant flycatchers may superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, which they are named after but are not closely related to. They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines), which do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of most other songbirds.del Hoyo, J. Elliott, A. & Christie, D. (editors).
