Rufous Casiornis (Casiornis rufus) - 19Aug2022

This is a very elegant looking tyrant flycatcher of central South America.  It shares its genus with the Ash-throated Casiornis which lives in northeast Brazil.  They were previously thought to be conspecific.  We had a couple Rufous Casiornis on our trip to the Brazilian Pantanal which is where this one was photographed.
