Panama Flycatcher
Myiarchus panamensis Lawrence, 1860
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Panama Flycatcher, Myiarchus panamensis, is a passerine of Middle America and northern South America, breeding from south-west Costa Rica through Panama into Colombia. It was first described by Lawrence in 1860 and belongs to the tyrant flycatcher family. The species is split into two subspecies, with one confined to coastal mangroves on the Pacific side of Costa Rica and the other ranging more widely through forest, mangroves and open country. Its range also reaches north-western Ecuador and north-western Venezuela, with the nominate form present on both Pacific and Caribbean slopes in parts of Panama and Costa Rica.
