About the Greater Pewee
The greater pewee (Contopus pertinax), formerly known as Coues's flycatcher, is a passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found from Arizona and New Mexico to Nicaragua. The greater pewee has two subspecies, the nominate C. p. pertinax (Cabanis & Heine, 1860) and C. p. minor (Miller, W & Griscom, 1925).

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 155 recordings for this species: 1 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
