    Dusky flycatcher

    A flycatcher I was certain of.....he was eating flies....but what kind (of flycatcher)? After world wide consultation with the experts here at Bird Forum we'll call it Dusky. Really appreciated the id help.

    Dusky Flycatcher

    Spotted this little bird while driving through Hluhluwe Umfolosi, it obligingly sat still while we moved the car around but was still quite far off for a small bird.

    Dusky Flycatcher?

    Thanks to JCWings and B Lagopus I am now fairly certain this is a Dusky flycatcher headed south to Mexico for the winter. My novice birding told me it was a warbler LOL. Think I will always be a novice the way I misidentify birds. Oh well, luckily I have people here who are willing to help.

    Dusky Flycatcher

    This little guy was having a whale of a time feeding on a termite emergence, and was not in the least bothered by my presence. At times he was only a meter or so from me.

    This one sang for a short period, making me sure of its identity. It's always nice when they do that!

    Dusky with grub

    Lucky me, the kind of day that makes you glad to be digiscoping. JVHigbee and me at a far off outpost nailing birds right and left, when this one suddenly lands on a bush barely outside my near-focus distance. You don't get luckier with a bird. We're pretty sure it's the Dusky, with the...

    Dusky Flycatcher

    Some identifying features of the Dusky; Bill is narrow, mostly dark and of some length. Wings have low contrast edges on feathers and a short primary projection. Head is rounded and tail appears long and notched or square.
