What is amazonian flycatcher?

The Amazonian Flycatcher, also known as the Bran-colored Flycatcher, is a small bird species found in the Amazon basin of South America. They have a length of 10-11.5 cm and weigh around 7-8 g. These birds have a brownish-grey back, a pale grey throat, and a white underbelly with brownish-grey streaks on the sides. They have a black bill and a black eye-stripe that extends from the base of the bill to the eye.

The Amazonian Flycatcher primarily feeds on insects, which they catch on the wing or while perched. They are typically found in forest edges, second growth forests, and along rivers. They are known for their distinctive call, which is a series of high-pitched "peeet" notes.

This species is considered to be a Least Concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), as it has a large range and its population is not believed to be decreasing significantly. However, habitat loss due to deforestation and other human activities remains a threat to their survival.
