Lesser kiskadee        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Lesser kiskadees are one several 'kiskadee-like' species that share yellow bellies and black-and-white facial masks (others include the great kiskadee, boat-billed flycatcher, social flycatcher, and rusty-margined flycatcher).   As their name implies, lesser kiskadees closely resemble the more widely distributed great kiskadee, but are smaller, with slimmer bills and much different calls.   This one was photographed in Gamboa, Panama.
