Galapagos land birds - flycatchers

There are three species of flycatchers in these islands:

Vermilion flycatcher
(Pyrocephalus rubinus) The male vermilion flycatcher is a stunning red colour and is certainly one of the islands’ most colourful characters, the female has a pale yellow vest. It is commonly seen sitting on fences in the highlands regions of Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, Isabela, and other major Islands.  As with other flycatchers, it will sit on a favourite perch and periodically launch into a circular flight to capture an insect and then return to exactly the same spot. Some like to define the two major populations as separate species -- the common Galapagos vermilion (P. nanus), and the more localized San Cristóbal vermilion (P. dubius).

Galapagos or Large-billed flycatcher
(Myiarchus magnirostris) The Galapagos flycatcher is endemic to the Islands. It is a light brown colour with a slightly yellowish chest and, although common, is much harder to identify. They too are aggressive, though not unfriendly, and have been known to recruit nest material of human hair from the head of tourists and researchers.
