Hi all

Any ideas for these two seen in Iguazú National Park in northern Argentina from last December.
The first three pics relate to the same bird and my best guess if Oliveacous Elaenia.
The last two pics may be Euler's Flycatcher but can Bran-coloured Flycatcher be ruled out?

Thanks
Dermot

Struggling to see Olivaceous Elaenia for first bird. Have you also considered Fuscous Flycatcher for 2nd bird?

1 Greenish Elaenia
2 shows a dark mandible, it should be pale on an Euler's. Bran-colored seems a better choice.

Good idea for 2), but I think we'd see evidence of the pale supercilium even on these pics in that case. So must be bran-coloured I guess

..I'm not convinced I can determine presence or absence of supercilium in these shots

Yep, Fuscous looks a good candidate for bird 2

Agree with Greenish Elaenia and Fuscous Flycatcher. Unless it was just at the edge of a grassier / more open area, Bran-colored isn’t usually in humid forest like that.
