Length: 5 in. (13 cm )

This small flycatcher occurs in loose colonies in montane pine-oak woodlands. It forages from low to mid levels of the trees by hawking insects out of the air or occasionally snatching them off of leaves. The nest is cup-shaped and placed on a horizontal branch at mid to high levels in the crotch of a tree. It is constructed from grass, leaves and hair.

The four-digit banding code is BBFL.
