Scarlet Flycatcher

Pyrocephalus rubinus

The Scarlet Flycatcher, or Austral Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus), presents a striking plumage reminiscent of a flickering flame. This avian species, closely related to the Vermilion Flycatcher, boasts a vibrant ruby hue that captivates the observer.

Identification Tips

Distinguishable from its cousin, the Vermilion Flycatcher, by its slightly pointier wings, the Scarlet Flycatcher is a visual treat. Observers should also note the distinctive songs of this species, which differ from those of its relatives.

Distribution

The Scarlet Flycatcher graces the skies of southeastern Bolivia and Brazil, extending its range through Paraguay to the southern reaches of Argentina and Uruguay.

Song & Calls

The Scarlet Flycatcher's vocalizations are unique and serve as an auditory clue to its identification. Its song is a defining characteristic that sets it apart from the Vermilion Flycatcher.

Breeding

There is no overlap in range and breeding times with the Vermilion Flycatcher, suggesting that the Scarlet Flycatcher follows its own distinct breeding schedule and geographical preferences for reproduction.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List classifies the Scarlet Flycatcher as Least Concern, indicating that, currently, there are no immediate threats to its population levels that would warrant a higher degree of conservation action.

I’ve had a passion of photographing birds for a long time now but have only just gotten into proper birdwatching, and this app is brilliant for those just getting started. There is a great sense of community among users and the app is very easy to use and professional. Awesome app altogether
