The Atlantic Royal Fly Catcher

            This large - billed fly catcher is known for its spectacular crest, which is vivid scarlet in males, yellow in females, and ornately decorated with splashes of black and steel blue tips. 

           Although the crest usually lies flat, protruding from the rear of the head, when fully extended it forms a large and impressive forward- facing fan.

           The vivid color of the crest stands out against the uniformly brown plumage of  the upper parts and dull-yellow underparts. By contrast, the rump and tall are a bright cinnamon color and a small, whitish patch makes the throat.
