Chestnut-capped Flycatcher

Erythrocercus mccallii

Least Concern

The Chestnut-capped Flycatcher is a small African forest flycatcher that sallies after insects from shaded perches in sub-Saharan Africa. It is generally resident, using local habitat year-round while shifting within its range as food and cover change. Fun fact: this batch connects several unusual songbird lineages, from cliff-nesting rockfowl to wetland donacobius and oxpeckers that forage on large mammals.
