The Lesser Antillean Flycatcher is a species restricted to certain islands in the Lesser Antilles. It is a common arboreal resident of various forest types.
Where to spot
Found on several islands of the Lesser Antilles, including Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent. It inhabits humid forests, semi-deciduous woodlands, and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid-canopy of forests. Like many Myiarchus, its calls are crucial for identification, as its plumage is generally subdued (olive-brown upperparts, pale throat, pale yellow belly).
When to spot
Resident year-round within its island distribution. Best observed during active foraging hours in the morning and late afternoon.
