Rusty-margined flycatcher in Suriname
Photo made by Pascal Dubois in French Guyane in 2002(
C�t� Nature
) and the second
one by Jan Hein Ribot in Lelydorp, Suriname in 2006.
The bird has a much shorter bill than the kiskadees and somewhat
more black on its head, but is best recognised by its sound. One
of the
songs of the
Rusty-margined Flycatcher
was recorded by Otte Ottema in
Peperpot plantation near Paramaribo (together with the softer
song of a Southern Beardless Tyrannulet). Of course this
flycatcher also has the rusty margins on its wings. It can hunt
like a typical flycatcher, a swift flight to a passing insect and
then back to its lookout. But it will eat berries also.
