While on our cruise a couple of weeks ago, we stopped in Acapulco on the Pacific coast of Mexico. I photographed this bird so as to check my field guides later. The closest ID I can get is Social Flycatcher, but the head markings are not quite right, as this one only has a little bit of dark grey on the top of his head. It's wings and tail were more brown than the olive mentioned in the field guide. Perhaps its a juvenile. It's colouring was so similar to the Great Kiskadee that I thought 'flycatcher' family, but it was smaller - about 6 - 7 inches. We found it in a small park on the seafront near the cruise ship terminal in Acapulco, about 9:30 am.
I'm including 2 images, so that you can see the top of the head, too.
Thanks in advance to anyone with experience of Mexican birds. This trip was our first time in Mexico.
