The Rusty-margined Flycatcher is a small passerine bird found in South America. It is known for its distinctive rusty-colored wings and tail, contrasting with its greyish head and underparts. This flycatcher is often found in open woodlands, forest edges, and shrubby areas, where it perches to catch insects in mid-air. It is a vocal bird, often heard before it is seen, with a sharp and distinctive call. The species is known for its agile flight and acrobatic hunting behavior. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and deforestation are potential threats to its populations.
