Phaeomyias murina
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Tyrannidae (Tyrant Flycatchers)
Flycatchers are a taxonomic nightmare, at least for me. My photos, from Peru, based on what experts in our birding group determined and entered in eBird, are of the Mouse-gray Flycatcher (Myiophobus crypterythrus). But different sources say this one was as formerly considered to be within the same species as the Mouse-colored Tyrannulet (Phaeomyias murina) OR the Bran-colored Flycatcher (Myiophobus fasciatus). I don’t think the birds really care one way or the other.
