Chapada flycatcher

It closely resembles the Suiriri Flycatcher of the subspecies affinis, and was included within it until being described in 2001. Compared to it, the Chapada Flycatcher has a broader pale tail-tip, a slightly shorter bill, and a different voice. It also has a distinctive wing-lifting display, which is lacking in the Suiriri Flycatcher.

The Chapada flycatcher is classified as Near Threatened (NT), is close to qualifying for or is likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future.

The Chapada Flycatcher (Suiriri islerorum) is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in the cerrado of south-central Brazil and adjacent far eastern Bolivia. While currently considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International, evidence suggests that it, at least locally, has declined drastically, and perhaps warrants an uplisting. It closely resembles the Suiriri Flycatcher of the subspecies affinis, and was included within it until being described in 2001. More

The Chapada Flycatcher is a cryptic species that was included within the Suiriri Flycatcher until it was described in 2001. While both these species are relatively noisy, only the Chapada Flycatcher has the distinctive wing-lifting display. Distribution and habitat - The Suiriri Flycatcher occurs in a wide range of semi-open habitats such as Chaco, Caatinga and Cerrado, but generally avoids humid habitats such as the Amazon Rainforest.

Chapada Flycatcher, among the lowest recorded for Neotropical tyrant flycatchers. This low reproductive success experienced by both species, particularly Chapada Flycatcher, which is a rare and locally distributed species, causes concerns about their conservation status. However, only long term demographic studies, with a larger sample size and at other locations, will allow scientists to determine if such low reproductive success may represent a threat to the species.

Spinetail, White-eared Puffbird, Chapada Flycatcher, lots of Curl-crested Jay, and another small hummer the Horned Sungem. Having just set off in the bus, we had a Wedge-tailed Grass-Finch sat at the side of the road, and further along, one of those strange looking Red-legged Seriema also at the side of the road, after that it was lunchtime. Late afternoon went for a walking down a road with woodland on both sides. Southern Antpipit was one of the first new birds. More

We also found a Chapada Flycatcher, recently described to science. This limited range species is very similar to Campo Suiriri and for years was thought to be just that. We were able to see and hear the bird and watch it perform its distinctive display giving us a positive identification. We also had great looks at a White-vented Violetear and Burrowing Owls seemed to be everywhere. After a stop to stock up on beer and wine at a small super market, we headed to our hotel. More

The Chapada Flycatcher (Suiriri islerorum) is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in the cerrado of Brazil, and the northern pantanal region of Brazil and Bolivia; also areas of the southeast Amazon Basin and some Amazon River tributaries at specific locales. This medium gray bird, with blackish and gray wings has an identifying narrow black eye stripe. The Chapada Flycatcher also has an identifying wing and tail display. More
