Empidonax affinis (Swainson, 1827)

Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura

Pine Flycatcher, Empidonax affinis, is a passerine of the tyrant flycatcher family that breeds in Middle America, with its range in Mexico. It is a resident of pine savanna and of semi-arid to humid pine-oak forest, using the interior, edges and openings of those woods. The species is split into several subspecies across Mexico, with one extending into western Guatemala. It is a small flycatcher with sexes that look alike, and the nominate form shows pale facial markings, olive upperparts, dusky wings with two wing bars, and pale yellow underparts.
