Diet and Foraging
Diet
White-throated Flycatcher is an insectivore. The diet includes beetles, small wasps, nymphs of mantids and grasshoppers, damselflies, homopterans, and flies; also consumes relatively small amounts of fruit (Stiles and Skutch 1989).
Foraging Behavior
Unlike the majority of species of Empidonax, which are typically found in woodland and as a group are considered enclosed perch hawkers (Fitzpatrick 1980), White-throated Flycatcher is found in more open habitats where it employs foraging behaviors in concordance with better prey visibility, like aerial hawking and sally-gleaning.
