    I love these little fellows, in my opinion, one of the prettiest (and one of the easiest to identify!) Andean flycatchers.
    Note that this is subspecies thoracica, where the cinnamon coloration is restricted to a small patch on the chest, looking quite different from the Colombian birds. And I'm told that in Venezuela, said cinnamon coloration is entirely absent...     Posted 4 years ago

      They should split the species, so we can share the loot. Posted 4 years ago

        Hahaha considering the current trend in bird taxonomy, that may well end up happening!

          I think of birds like Bitcoin. When all are produced, just split them into every smaller parts. Birdcoin basically. Posted 4 years ago
