LARGE ELAENIA Elaenia spectabilis Large Elaenia is a common summer visitor to Paraguay, though it is often overlooked because of its close resemblance to the familiar Yellow-bellied Elaenia.

White-crested usually has a visible white crest which gives the nape a "ragged" appearance, whilst this species generally appears more smoothly, round-headed. More
