Rufous Flycatcher (Myiarchus semirufus)
About the Rufous Flycatcher
The rufous flycatcher (Myiarchus semirufus) is a Vulnerable species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is considered endemic to Peru but has possibly occurred in Ecuador. The rufous flycatcher was originally described with its current binomial Myiarchus semirufus. Because it is basal to genus Myiarchus and in some ways is more similar to the pale-bellied mourner (Rhytipterna immunda) than to other Myiarchus its current placement is not necessarily final. It has at times been placed in its own genus Muscifur. The rufous flycatcher is monotypic.
