: EMPIDONAX VIRESCENS, not E. flaviventris, which would have been Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, which would have been really cool, but which I DID NOT SEE, so don't bug me about it.
: ;o)
A little reductionism breaks flaviventris into two
parts: flavi, from flavus = yellow, and ventris = belly
Trying to understand the latin names, instead of
just looking them up, avoids this kind of problem.
