Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher Ptiliogonys caudatus Scientific name definitions

The Long-tailed Silky-flycatcher (Ptilogonys caudatus) is a blue-gray and yellow thrush-sized bird of high-elevations forests in Costa Rica and Panama. Occurring mostly above 6,000 feet, this species forages in small flocks, often landing on high perches or berry-producing trees. Long-tailed Silky-flycatchers are omnivorous, commonly eating insects and small fruits. Although its range is limited to Central American highlands, this species is fairly common in the mountains where it lives.
