White-ringed Flycatcher

Conopias albovittatus (Lawrence, 1862)

Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura

White-ringed Flycatcher, Conopias albovittatus, is a tyrant flycatcher of Middle and South America, breeding from eastern Honduras through Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama to north-west Ecuador. It was described by Lawrence in 1862. The species has a split range, with one form in Central America and another from Panama into Colombia and Ecuador. It lives in the canopy and along the edges of tropical evergreen forest, and may also use taller trees in nearby clearings and along watercourses. Its breeding season in Costa Rica runs from March to June, and it nests in tree cavities and among bromeliads.
