Yellow-bellied Flycatchers are exceptional among the difficult-to-identify species in the genus, Empidonax. Unlike the others, Yellow-bellied Flycatchers are easily identified by their unique yellow plumage. They are common enough migrants from the northern forests towards Central America, but they are small and camouflaged. Each spring and fall, I band a few—this one on 11 September 2018. In the hand, capturing their color proves to be difficult. I think I came close in this image.
