Golden-crowned Flycatcher

Myiodynastes hemichrysus

The Golden-crowned Flycatcher is a medium-sized tyrant flycatcher found in the forests and woodlands of Central and South America. It is known for its distinctive golden crown and olive-green upperparts. This species is often observed perching in the mid-story or canopy, sallying out to catch flying insects. It has a melodious and varied song that it uses to establish territories and attract mates. The Golden-crowned Flycatcher is generally considered to be of least concern in terms of conservation status, as it has a wide distribution and is not currently facing significant threats.
