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.

Ecology

Inhabits bright forests from flatlands to mountains, and preys on arthropods while moving between the ground and trees. They also eat plant foods such as nuts.

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.

Video

The video of the Western redstart.

It was on a branch.
