Gray Silky-flycatcher

Ptiliogonys cinereus

Least Concern

The Gray Silky-flycatcher is a sleek crested songbird that feeds on berries and insects, often perching conspicuously in montane woodland or desert-edge trees in central Mexican highlands. It is generally resident or locally nomadic, using suitable cover and food patches year-round. Fun fact: this batch includes remarkable specialists, from mimic-rich thrashers to brood-parasitic whydahs and nectar-feeding sugarbirds.
