Rufous-tailed Flycatcher

 

The Rufous-tailed Flycatcher is a medium-sized woodland species endemic to Jamaica that prefers moist forests where it typically “flycatches” from perches in thick foliage beneath the canopy.

Note its bright rusty tail and the extensive rust on its wings. Other flycatchers we observed like the Sad Flycatcher is much smaller-bodied and smaller-billed and lacks the rusty tail and wings. And the similar Stolid Flycatcher is also smaller-billed and smaller-bodied with more limited rust on tail and wings. The Rufous-tailed Flycatcher has a darker gray head and chest than either Sad or Stolid Flycatchers.
