Apical Flycatcher, Myiarchus apicalis, is a passerine bird of the Tyrannidae family that breeds in west-central Colombia. It is found in a broken range across the Cauca, Dagua, Patía and Magdalena river valleys. The bird is a resident throughout the year and is tied mainly to dry and arid valleys with scrubby growth. It also uses forest edges, woodland margins, riverbank thickets and farmed land. A notable feature is the pale tipping on the tail feathers, which gives the species its name.
