Rusty-margined Flycatcher
Myiozetetes cayanensis

Native Range: Latin America

Notes: very similar and closely related to the Social Flycatcher, but shows more rusty color on the wing margins; both of these species are part of a large complex of tropical flycatchers with bright yellow underparts and black-and-white head markings; no sexual dimorphism.
