Vireo? Malecon of San Jose del Guaviare, Colombia (1 Viewer)

[pandachris]

Hi. I've been looking through our holiday snaps and this one has confused me. The only vireo that we recorded that day was Red-eyed (which these aren't) and we had a couple of Tyrannulets as well. The photo was taken on 6th August 2024. Any ideas?

I'm away for a few days so please don't think me ill-mannered if I'm slow to respond to any queries or IDs.

Mouse-coloured tyrannulet in my opinion, do not get a vireo impression from the the bird in your pic.

It's clearly a Flycatcher.

First impression is indeed Mouse-colored Tyrannulet or Fuscous Flycatcher. It's been nearly 10 years since I've birded in CO and I've not looked at ranges / eBird occurence for the area to check which makes more sense nor have I looked at subspp of both to match what would occur in that

That looks a good call, Bewick, and a species that we did not identify at the time.We always struggle with vireos so assume that anything in that size range that we can't ID is probably one It takes me up to 399 species for Colombia.

@pbjosh - both Fuscous Flycatcher and Mouse-colored Tyrannulet can occur around San Jose del Guaviare, according to eBird. I have no prior experience of either. Looking at the field guide and other photos on-line I'm now thinking more likely Fuscous but also back to 398 species as I can't be sure.

No it's a tyrannulet. So mouse-coloured.
