Buff-breasted Flycatcher

Rhynchocyclus fulvipectus

The Buff-breasted Flycatcher is a small, insect-eating bird found in the highland pine-oak forests of Mexico and Central America. It has a distinctive olive-green back, pale yellow underparts, and a buffy wash on the breast. This species is known for its distinctive call, a sharp 'whit' or 'whit-whit' sound. It forages for insects by making short sallies from perches in the forest canopy. The Buff-breasted Flycatcher is often found in mixed-species flocks and is known for its acrobatic flight patterns. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and degradation are potential future threats to this species.
