Black-capped Flycatcher
The Black-capped Flycatcher is a small Empidonax flycatcher restricted to highland forests in Costa Rica and western Panama, distinguished from similar species by its dark cap and pale eye ring. It inhabits the canopy and edges of cloud forests above 2,000 meters. It feeds on insects, sallying from perches in typical flycatcher fashion.
Agile Tit-tyrant
The Agile Tit-tyrant is a small Andean flycatcher of the Tyrannidae family, weighing about 9 g with a wingspan near 12 cm. It is found in humid montane scrub and forest edges in South America, flitting nimbly through vegetation in search of small insects.
