Elaenia,Yellow-bellied1.jpg
Yellow-bellied Elaenia. There are many flycatchers in
Brazil (in fact, New World flycatchers make up the biggest bird family
in the world). Unfortunately, many look alike, so they can be
notoriously hard to identify. This individual, seen in Búzios,
has a pair of prominent whitish wingbars, a yellowish belly, a white
eyering, a relatively short, pale beak, and a crest (not obvious in
the photo). That plus habitat and range helped secure the ID. |
