Guess with no literature: Dusky-capped Flycatcher

I don't show that one marked down as having been spotted on our tour...but perhaps Short-crested Flycatcher? I have him marked down as being seen at Villa Carmen area of Manu Road.

Thanks for your help! Bird Forum is fantastic for identifying unknown birds!!

Do you have any more photos of this bird Gladys? This is one of the flycatchers in the genus Myiarchus but the are very similar and better views of the wings and tail would be helpful. Also, if you have an idea of the altitude there that would also be useful.

Cock of the rock lodge is about 2500m I think

Sorry, this is the only view I have of this bird, and this photo is the clearest one I have. Sorry if I'm not much help here.

I think I have determined this to be a Short-crested Flycatcher...Thanks for all your help!
