Dusky-chested Flycatcher
Myiozetetes luteiventris (Sclater, PL, 1858)
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Dusky-chested Flycatcher, Myiozetetes luteiventris, is a passerine of Amazonia in South America, where it breeds in the canopy of evergreen forest. It also uses both terra firme and várzea forest, along with shrubby edges, clearings, gaps made by fallen trees, and margins of rivers and lakes. Its range is split across the Amazon Basin, with one part extending through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela and Brazil, and the other in Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana and Amapá. It is the smallest member of Myiozetetes and has a largely similar appearance in both sexes.
