Pacific-Slope Flycatcher

 

Empidonax difficilis

 

In plumage, the Pacific-slope Flycatcher is virtually identical to the Cordilleran Flycatcher, and differs only subtly from most Empidonax flycatchers in North America, but its breeding habitat and call are different. Its call can vary slightly by different regions and the bird itself.

 

Fun Fact
They fulfill an important role in keeping insect populations in check, particularly mosquitos.
