The pine flycatcher (Empidonax affinis) is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae and the tyrant flycatchers family. It is found in the montane tropical and subtropical coniferous forests of Mexico and southwestern Guatemala. [2] A vagrant bird found in the Santa Rita Mountains, Arizona, in late May 2016, was the first record north of Mexico. [3] (An erroneous 2009 record from Choke Canyon State Park in southern Texas [4] was later shown to be a misidentified Least Flycatcher.) [5]

The vermilion flycatcher is a small passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family found throughout South America and southern North America. It is a striking exception among the generally drab Tyrannidae due to its vermilion-red coloration. The males have bright red crowns, chests, and underparts, with brownish wings and tails. Females lack the vivid red coloration and can be hard to identify—they may be confused for the Say's phoebe. The vermilion flycatcher's song is a pit pit pit pidddrrrreeedrr, which is variable and important in establishing a territory. Riparian habitats and semi-open environments are preferred. As aerial insectivores, they catch their prey while flying. Their several months-long molt begins in summer.
