Can you help us identify this little bird we found hanging out in the jungle canopy?
We spotted him on October 22 at 7:30am.
The backside.
One more shot before it flew away.

It’s an LBJ (Little Brown Job), haha.
I think it looks like a Dusky Capped Flycatcher or Brown Crested Flycatcher according to Kaufman’s Birds of North America. Summers near Mexico border, so likely winters further south.
Thanks Erin! We were also thinking it might a young social fly catcher?
I don’t think a Social Flycathcer. I would go with a Yucatan Flycatcher. Dusky and Brown-crested both have more of a crest that this bird seems to have….
Hi Wayne, I think you nailed it, looked it up in Bird of Belize by H Lee Jones, and it looks like a dead ringer. Nice Job!
