Wikipedia Abstract

The Yucatan flycatcher (Myiarchus yucatanensis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico and the northern bordering parts of Belize and Guatemala. It is a typical Myiarchus flycatcher; partially crested with a brown to gray back and head, a rufous tail and yellow to pale underparts. It is closely related to and similar in appearance to the dusky-capped flycatcher (M. tuberculifer), brown-crested flycatcher (M. tyrannulus) and the great crested flycatcher (M. crinitus). These species are best distinguished by voice.
