Grey-capped Flycatcher, Myiozetetes granadensis, is a passerine of the tyrant flycatcher family found in Middle America and South America, from Honduras to western Ecuador and western Amazonia. It was described by Lawrence in 1862. It lives in humid tropical and lower subtropical places that are often fairly open, including forest edges, shrubby clearings, secondary growth, gallery forest and farmland with scattered trees, and it is often near standing water. The species has a disjunct range, with populations in Central America and separate ones in the Andes and Amazon basin.
