The Royal Flycatcher, Onychorhynchus coronatus, is a passerine bird of the tyrant flycatcher family. It is found in the Amazon Basin and on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, the Pacific coast of Ecuador and in southeastern Brazil.

It is found in forest and woodland areas using the lower growth to remain inconspicuous.

Physical description
The Royal Flycatcher is 16.5-18 cm (6½-7") 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.

The Royal Flycatcher 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 rarely seen.

Call
The Royal Flycatcher is usually quiet, but sometimes gives a repeated sharp clear pree-o or key-up, sounding rather like a Manacus manakin or a jacamar.

Subspecies
There is a sub-species O. c. swainsoni found in southeastern Brazil.



Moucherolle royal

Le moucherolle royal (Onychorhynchus coronatus), de la famille des Tyrannidae, est un moucherolle, un oiseau des sous-bois difficile ?? observer. Il vit ?? proximit?? des criques et des rivi??res dans les for??ts tropicales d'Am??rique du Sud. Les m??les ouvrent leur cr??te, d'un rouge magnifique, pour effrayer les pr??dateurs, mais aussi pour attirer l'attention des femelles pendant la saison des amours. Lorsque ce bel ornement est ferm??, le moucherolle n'attire pas particuli??rement l'attention, car le reste de son plumage lui permet de rester camoufl??.
