Myiodynastes
''Myiodynastes'' is a genus of birds in the family Tyrannidae. Created by Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1857, the genus contains five species which are collectively referred to as "sulphur-bellied flycatchers"; that name is also given to one of the individual species in the genus. The genus name ''Myiodynastes'' is a compound word composed from two Greek words: ''muia'', meaning "fly" and ''dunastẽs'', meaning "ruler". List of species The genus contains five species: * Golden-bellied flycatcher (''Myiodynastes hemichrysus'') * Golden-crowned flycatcher (''Myiodynastes chrysocephalus'') * Baird's flycatcher (''Myiodynastes bairdii'') * Sulphur-bellied flycatcher The sulphur-bellied flycatcher (''Myiodynastes luteiventris'') is a large tyrant flycatcher.

Myiodynastes Maculatus
The streaked flycatcher (''Myiodynastes maculatus'') is a passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family. Description The streaked flycatcher is long, weighs and has a strong black bill. The head is brown with a concealed yellow crown patch, white supercilium and dusky eye mask. The upperparts are brown with darker brown streaks on the back, rufous and white edges on the wings, and wide chestnut edges on the rump and tail. The underparts are yellowish-white streaked with brown. Sexes are similar, but immature birds are brown where the adult is black. ''M. m. solitarius'' has black rather than brown streaking above and below. The streaked flycatcher is a conspicuous bird, with a noisy ''sqEEE-zip'' call. It is very similar in appearance to the less widespread sulphur-bellied flycatcher. The streaked flycatcher has a heavier bill, lighter yellow belly, pink basal half of the lower mandible and creamy (not white) superciliary. Distribution and habitat This species breeds from ...

Tyrannidae
The tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) are a family of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America. They are considered the largest family of birds known to exist in the world, with more than 400 species. They are the most diverse avian family in every country in the Americas, except for the United States and Canada. The members vary greatly in shape, patterns, size and colors. Some tyrant flycatchers may superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, which they are named after but are not closely related to. They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines), which do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of most other songbirds.del Hoyo, J. Elliott, A. & Christie, D. (editors).

Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher
The sulphur-bellied flycatcher (''Myiodynastes luteiventris'') is a large tyrant flycatcher. This bird breeds from southeasternmost Arizona of the United States (the Madrean sky islands region of Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, and northern Sonora, Mexico) to Costa Rica. They are short distance migrants, spending winters in the eastern Andean foothills of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil, and are passage migrants over the southern portions of Central America. The most distinguishing characteristics of this flycatcher are the heavy streaking of its plumage, and its pale yellow belly. The bird also shows a rusty brown tail, and a black eyestripe. Its call sounds like noises made by squeaky toys. Sulphur-bellied flycatchers usually occur in woodlands of montane canyons, at elevations between 1000 and 2000 meters. They make a cup nest in a tree cavity or old woodpecker hole. The female lays two to four eggs. They wait on an open perch usually rather high or on to ...

Baird's Flycatcher
Baird's flycatcher (''Myiodynastes bairdii'') is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Ecuador and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and heavily degraded former forest. This bird was named after Spencer Fullerton Baird, a 19th-century naturalist.

Golden-bellied Flycatcher
The golden-bellied flycatcher (''Myiodynastes hemichrysus'') is a passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family. It is an endemic resident breeder in Costa Rica and western Panama. This species is found in the canopy and at the edges of wet, epiphyte-draped mountain forests, especially near streams or clearings. It occurs at middle elevations, typically between 700 and 1850 m altitude, locally to 2300 m in the south of its restricted range. The nest is a shallow open cup placed in a tree hollow, old woodpecker nest, or clump of epiphytes, or a vegetation-covered vertical bank. The female lays a typical clutch of three pinkish eggs, which are marked with red-brown spots. The golden-bellied flycatcher is 20 cm long, weighs 41g and has a black bill. Its crown is grey with a concealed yellow patch, and it has a black eyemask. The upperparts are dark olive, and the wings and tail are brown with faint rufous fringes. The underparts are yellow and the throat is white with dark ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Golden-crowned Flycatcher
The golden-crowned flycatcher (''Myiodynastes chrysocephalus'') is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains. The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is a crucial f ...s and heavily degraded former forest.
