YELLOW-BELLIED CAMPTOSTOMA 



The very bright yellow under parts will 

 easily serve to distinguish this from the other 

 small flycatchers. In its actions it is like a 

 warbler or vireo; it has rather low soft conver- 

 sational notes uttered with a rising inflection 

 and non-committal tone. Common in the 

 brushy country near Panama City, in pairs or 

 small flocks.
