About the Social Flycatcher

The social flycatcher (Myiozetetes similis) is a passerine bird from the Americas, a member of the large tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is found in Mexico, every Central American country, and every mainland South American country except Chile, Guyana, Suriname, and Uruguay. It has also occurred as a vagrant in the United States.

The social flycatcher was originally described in 1825 as Muscicapa similis, mistakenly placing it in the Old World flycatcher family. The social flycatcher has these seven subspecies: M. s. primulus Van Rossem, 1930 M. s. hesperis Phillips, AR, 1966

M. s. texensis (Jacob Post Giraud Jr, 1841) M. s. columbianus Cabanis & Heine, 1860 M. s. similis (Spix, 1825) M. s. grandis Lawrence, 1871 M. s. pallidiventris Pinto, 1935 In the early twentieth century some authors treated M. s. texensis as a separate species. By itself and also with M. s. primulus and M. s. hesperis it was called the vermilion-crowned flycatcher. (At least one author used "vermilion-crowned" for the entire social flycatcher.) A 2023 field guide treats each of M. s. texensis, M. s. columbianus, M. s. grandis, and M. s. pallidiventris as separate species... Wikipedia →
