The upper tail tube is gray and slightly paler than that of the white-tailed flycatcher. The beak is lead-colored overall, but the lower beak is light flesh-colored.

Habitat
I took this photo early in the morning in a sunny forest. It fluttered around looking for food with movements typical of a flycatcher. It was light and could perch vertically on tree trunks. After eating insects on the tree, it looked at me and opened its beak wide.
