About the Stolid Flycatcher
The stolid flycatcher (Myiarchus stolidus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found on the Caribbean islands of Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic, and Haiti) and Jamaica. The stolid flycatcher was formally described as Myiobius stolidus. At various times it has been considered conspecific with each of La Sagra's flycatcher (Myiarcus sagrae) and the Puerto Rican flycatcher (M. antillarum).
The stolid flycatcher has two subspecies: the nominate M. s. stolidus (Gosse, 1847), which is endemic to Jamaica, and M. s. dominicensis (Bryant, 1867), which is endemic to Hispaniola. This treatment might not be final, as there is evidence that the nominate is more closely related to the nominate subspecies of La Sagra's flycatcher than to M. s. dominicensis.
The stolid flycatcher is 20 cm (7.9 in) long and weighs about 19 to 26 g (0.67 to 0.92 oz). The sexes have the same plumage.

Their wings are mostly brown with thin... Wikipedia →
