Pale-edged Flycatcher

Myiarchus cephalotes Taczanowski, 1880

Pale-edged Flycatcher, Myiarchus cephalotes, is a passerine bird of the tyrant flycatcher family that breeds in South America from northern Venezuela to Bolivia. It was described by Taczanowski in 1880. Its range also includes Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and it is associated with partly open country in subtropical and lower temperate zones. It uses forest edges, clearings and open woodland, usually between 1,000 and 2,600 m depending on the country. The species is notable for the pale outer edges on the tail feathers, a feature that sets it apart from other Myiarchus flycatchers.
