Song of the Yellow-bellied Flycatcher

[Andreas Jonsson]

Does anybody know of a good handle for the song of the Yellow-bellied Flycatcher? It's not on the the Birding by Ear series and it sounds very much like the song of the Least Flycatcher to me, a little less abrupt perhaps. Any tips how to separate the two species by song would be appreciated. Thanks.

right, they are similar, chelek for yellow-bellied vs. che-bek for least
As is often the case, solid knowledge of the common species is your best tool for recognizing the presence of the less common one.

Thanks Pat. So true.
