northern royal flycatcher

The northern royal flycatcher (Onychorhynchus mexicanus) is a passerine bird in the family Tityridae. It is found in Mexico, south through most of Central America, to north-western Colombia and far western Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

It feeds on insects and arthropods

The northern royal flycatcher is 16.52 to18 cm  long, brown above small buffy spots on its wing-coverts; the rump and tail are tawny-ochraceous in colour. The bill is long and broad. It has an erectile fan-shaped crest, coloured red in the male and yellow-orange in the female. The display with the crest fully raised is seen extremely rarely, except during banding sessions.

The northern royal flycatcher is usually inconspicuous and quiet, but sometimes gives a repeated sharp clear pree-o or key-up, sounding rather like a Manacus manakin or a jacamar.
