What do Amazonian royal flycatchers look like?
The body of the Amazonian royal flycatcher bird has dull brown upper parts with a rufous or red tail and rump. Their underbelly is ochraceous-orange with a whitish throat. The normal brown-colored male raises their rarely seen crest to display blue, yellow, black, and scarlet plumage colors. The females too have black, blue, and scarlet but red replaces the yellow color. This crest is provoked and long and the crest lays flat which raises like a fan. The crest also gives a hammerhead shape to their head. This plumage coloration is similar to the Atlantic royal flycatcher (blue, yellow, black, and red). The northern royal flycatcher male has an orange-red crest and the female has yellow-orange color. This bird also has long bills.
