Pyrocephalus nanus Gould, 1838
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Brujo Flycatcher, Pyrocephalus nanus, is a passerine of the Tyrannidae family that breeds in the Galápagos of South America. It was described by Gould in 1838. The species is found on the main islands of the archipelago and lives in the interior and margins of rather humid highland forest. It is a year-round resident there. The bird is also known as Darwin’s flycatcher and little vermilion flycatcher. Its breeding season runs from December to May, and it builds a cup nest of moss and lichens in a tree or shrub, laying three eggs.
