Miss Marge Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 It's probably a long shot for an ID but maybe an expert can help me out. I was at a Mayan Ruin in Belize last week and saw lots of fluttering in a small tree. I snapped a bunch of pictures but this little guy wouldn't stay put. This is the only picture I managed to get. Possibly a Gnat Catcher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadynn_H Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 @Miss Marge What part of Belize did you see this in? There's Mayan ruins across the entire country so that doesn't help with location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marge Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Sorry. I was in San Ignacio. At the Xunantunich ruins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadynn_H Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I couldn't figure this one out since I thought the bill looked short and wide(I kept thinking spadebill or flatbill) so I forwarded the pic to a friend in Belize. He said it looks like a Slate-headed Today Flycatcher. Those have long bills but now that I look at the pic I think the angle just makes it look short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marge Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Am I safe to confirm a Slate-headed tody Flycatcher? Thanks for going the extra mile either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
