Yellowish Flycatcher (Empidonax flavescens)
About the Yellowish Flycatcher
The yellowish flycatcher (Empidonax flavescens) is a small passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found from Mexico to Panama. The yellowish flycatcher has three subspecies, the nominate E. f. flavescens (Lawrence, 1865), E. f. imperturbatus (Wetmore, 1942), and E. f. salvini (Ridgway, 1886). From the late 1800s to the 1980s the yellowish flycatcher was treated as conspecific with what was then (and is now again) the western flycatcher (E. difficilis). Subspecies E. f. salvini was originally described as a full species and some authors have suggested that it again be treated that way.
