Yucatan Flycatcher

Myiarchus yucatanensis Lawrence, 1871

Yucatan Flycatcher, Myiarchus yucatanensis, is a passerine of the Tyrannidae family that breeds in Middle America, especially the Yucatán Peninsula. It was described by Lawrence in 1871 and occurs in Belize, Guatemala and Mexico. It is a typical Myiarchus flycatcher and is similar to several other members of the genus, but it can be told by the rufous tone on the crown. The species is found in semi-open tropical country, including forest edges, scrubby woodland, clearings and early second growth, from sea level to about 300 m.
