Tyrant flycatcher, Nosara, Costa Rica
Here's 6 shots of the same bird.
These are total buggers. I think brown-crested or nuttings - it seems to have a darker cap but the white wing bars seem to preclude dark-capped. I think they're the only 3 possibilities based on range. I have several others too if you enjoy this.... |

Yes, it is either a Brown-crested or Nuttings but without seeing the color of the inside of the mouth, hearing it call, or watching the bird in action, I couldnt say for sure. Yes, those are tough ones for sure and after watching lots of both in Costa Rica, I am sure that many are incorrectly identified.
