Dusky-capped Flycatcher, Myiarchus tuberculifer
Dusky-capped Flycatcher, 4/30/10, South Fork Cave Creek, Portal, AZ
No rufous in the tail is a good indicator that this is a Dusky-capped, rather than an Ash-throated or Brown-crested, the other two
Myiarchus flycatchers regularly found in Arizona. This bird's vocalizations are also distinctive: a high plaintive whistle, and a song
with a trill in it, contrasting with the scratchy calls and songs of the other two Myiarchus in the area.
