This bird was not a vireo or a warbler. There is a chance of flycatcher, but it is not in the North American books.Me and Felipe were positive that this is not a vireo or flycatcher. The patterns on t's head was almost exactly like the Piratic and Variagated Flycatcher, but the bill we saw was much thinner, and the bird was very skinny. The bird was larger than a vireo or warbler. I would go around 8 inches. The recording of the bird was great, and a person knowlegable with a bird like this would be able to see it clearly and i.d. easily. Unfortunataly, I don't have a book of birds from differant areas of the world.
