White-throated Flycatcher
Empidonax albigularis Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1859
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
White-throated Flycatcher, Empidonax albigularis, is a passerine of Middle America, breeding widely across Mexico and much of Central America. It belongs to the Tyrannidae family and was described by Sclater and Salvin in 1859. In the breeding season it uses open and partly open country, often close to water, including wet meadows, streamside growth, irrigation ditches and openings in pine-oak forest. It is a migratory bird in most of its range, with much of the movement tied to changes in elevation. Its breeding range is broad but patchy in some highland areas.
