Bentevizinho-do-brejo (Philohydor lictor or Pitangus lictor). The Lesser Kiskadee is a medium-sized, colorful flycatcher of much of northern South American. Found from Panama south through the river lowlands of the northern half of the country, it also has a disjunct distribution along the east coast of Brazil; it inhabits shrubby areas near water below 500 meters in elevation. Overall, it appears like a much smaller version of the very familiar Great Kiskadee, being rufescent brown above and yellow below with a black head marked by a broad white superciliary, white throat, yellow coronal patch, and a slim but sturdy black bill. Lesser Kiskadee does not sound anything like the familiar "kiss my rear" of the Great Kiskadee, making nasal, buzzy, slurred calls instead. As an additional difference, Lesser Kiskadee builds a simple cup for its nest, completely unlike the large basket nest of the Great Kiskadee. via 500px http://ift.tt/1yd7ktA
