- Struggling to identify flycatchers? We all are! In the final video of our series, we have a look at the fiendish Empidonax flycatchers.
⏰ Timestamps
0:00 Intro
0:58 Field Marks & Empidonax ID
2:42 Least Flycatcher
3:24 Yellow-bellied Flycatcher
3:58 White-throated Flycatcher
4:40 Acadian Flycatcher
5:22 Alder & Willow Flycatchers
6:29 Yellowish & Black-capped Flycatchers
7:28 Outro
Especially for birders unfamiliar with New World Flycatchers, this large family of birds can cause some serious headaches. Is the bird in the tree a White-ringed Flycatcher or "just" a Social Flycatcher? How can I tell apart the Pewees? And is there ANY way to distinguish those pesky Empidonax flycatchers?
I've had these questions many times - and I'm seriously hoping that I can't be the only one. So, let's have a look at Costa Rica's flycatchers together and let's see if we can find a way to make our lives a little bit easier.

Another tricky group! Thanks.
Thanks! I'm still really struggling with them. Well, now I need to find some empids to see if it helped ;)
Thanks Tim for the video
You're very welcome! Thanks for stopping by :)
Great video, but...oh dear, the Flycatchers...or as we call them: LBB's...Little Brown Birds, when it comes to birding in CR 😂😂😂
Oh, yes... I've found that some times the best cure is to just look at some other birds :D
Thanks a lot!! Now a lot more clear for me with those identification tips. Pura Vida!🪶💚
Thanks so much :) These ID videos are a lot of fun to make!
