Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher
Myiodynastes luteiventris Sclater, PL, 1859
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher, Myiodynastes luteiventris, breeds in south-west USA and through Middle America to Costa Rica, and spends the non-breeding season in western Amazonia. It is a passerine in the tyrant flycatcher family, first described by Sclater, PL, 1859. In its breeding range it uses deciduous forest, gallery forest and the margins of evergreen forest, and in Arizona it is typically found in riparian canyons. It is a monotypic species, and the sulphur-bellied flycatcher and streaked flycatcher are sister species.
