Rusty-margined flycatcher, Santa María, Colombia Four birds on our checklist compete for this generic looking bird: <br />
- Rusty-margined Flycatcher<br />
- Social Flycatcher<br />
- Great Kiskadee<br />
- Boat-billed Flycatcher<br />
<br />
The size of this bird narrows it down to the first two, which are hard to distinguish from each other and share similar distribution. I made an educated guess that this is the Rusty-margined flycatcher based on the wings being a bit more rufous than the typical social flycatcher.
