Puerto Rican Flycatcher (Myiarchus antillarum)
About the Puerto Rican Flycatcher
The Puerto Rican flycatcher (Myiarchus antillarum) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Puerto Rico, the American Virgin Islands, and the British Virgin Islands. The Puerto Rican flycatcher was formally described by Dr. Henry Bryant as Tyrannus antillarum. Curiously, Bryant listed it under the subheading "Myiarchus", the genus to which it was later transferred. During the first half of the twentieth century many authors treated it as a subspecies of the stolid flycatcher (Myiarchus stolidus). The Puerto Rican flycatcher is one of 22 species in genus Myiarchus. It is monotypic. The local name for the Puerto Rican flycatcher is juí, and it is "traditionally considered a harbinger of both good and bad news".

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 11 recordings for this species: 10 CC BY-NC-SA · 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.
