Atlantic royal flycatcher


The Atlantic royal flycatcher is a passerine bird in the family Tityridae.
Measuring, this large-billed flycatcher has a spectacular, but rarely seen, crest. It has largely uniform dull brown upperparts with pale, bright cinnamon rump and tail, a whitish throat, unmarked ochraceous buff underparts. The crest is usually left flat, giving a hammerhead shape to head. When raised, the crest displays a remarkable combination of scarlet, black and blue.
The Atlantic royal flycatcher is endemic to Atlantic forest in south-eastern Brazil. It is threatened by habitat loss.
