Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Yellowish Flycatcher, Empidonax flavescens, is a passerine of the tyrant flycatcher family that breeds in Middle America from south-east Mexico to Panama. Lawrence described it in 1865. It is a member of the genus Empidonax and is one of several similar flycatchers in its range. Its breeding distribution is split into separate parts, with one population in the Sierra de los Tuxtlas, another through Chiapas and Central America, and the nominate form in Costa Rica and western Panama. It lives in humid highland forest, especially cloudforest, and also uses pine and pine-oak woodland.
