Myiarchus venezuelensis (Venezuelan Flycatcher)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Venezuelan flycatcher (Myiarchus venezuelensis) is a passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family. It was formerly considered to be a race of the short-crested flycatcher, Myiarchus ferox, but the two species overlap without interbreeding in Venezuela, and the calls are different. It breeds in forest and deciduous woodland in northeastern Colombia, northern Venezuela and Tobago. The nest is built in a tree cavity. This species is best separated from other confusingly similar Myiarchus species by its call, a whistled wheeerrrr.
