Myiodynastes maculatus (Müller, PLS, 1776)

Streaked Flycatcher, Myiodynastes maculatus, is a passerine of the tyrant flycatcher family, breeding from Middle America into South America, from eastern Mexico to Uruguay. It occurs in forested country across much of that span, including forest canopy and edges, and also in gallery forest, várzea, mangroves and clearings with tall trees. Its range reaches Mexico, Central America and wide parts of South America, with records from Trinidad and Tobago and vagrancy to Bonaire and Chile. The species is treated as having seven subspecies, and the nominate form shows a dark facial mask and a bright crown patch.
