Buff-breasted Flycatcher
Empidonax fulvifrons (Giraud Jr, 1841)
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Buff-breasted Flycatcher, Empidonax fulvifrons, is a passerine of the tyrant flycatcher family that breeds from south-west USA through Middle America to Honduras. It is a small bird, and the sexes look alike. In the breeding season it uses broad mountain canyons with open pine, pine-oak and oak woodland, especially where grass and some shrubs grow beneath the trees, and it is often found beside watercourses. The species is partly migratory, with some populations moving south after breeding, while others remain in place through the year.
