Galapagos Flycatcher (Myiarchus magnirostris)
About the Galapagos Flycatcher
The Galapagos flycatcher (Myiarchus magnirostris), also known as the large-billed flycatcher, is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatcher. It is endemic to the Galápagos Islands. The Galapagos flycatcher was formally described by John Gould as Myiobius magnirostris after initially naming it Tyrannula magnirostris. For a period in the early 1900s some authors placed it in the monotypic genus Eribates but by the 1970s that genus was merged into Myiarchus. The Galapagos flycatcher is monotypic. The species' local name is "Papamoscas".
