SEPIA-CAPPED FLYCATCHER Leptopogon amaurocephalus
An odd little humid forest bird, with the strange habit of periodically lifting up its wings over its back as if stretching! Though fairly common he can be difficult to see in the dingy light of the undergrowth, his greenish coluration blending perfectly with his background. Often social listen out for their chattering calls.
