Apical Flycatcher (Myiarchus apicalis)
About the Apical Flycatcher
The apical flycatcher (Myiarchus apicalis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is endemic to Colombia. The apical flycatcher was formally described in 1881 by the English zoologist Philip Sclater. The genus name derives the Ancient Greek muia - fly, and arkhos - ruler or chief. The species' English name and specific epithet come from the Latin apical - of the point or tip - in reference to the white tips of the bird's tail feathers. The apical flycatcher is monotypic.
