Hi Nature Guy!
What's features are you looking for that helps you distinguish between a Restless and a Leaden Flycather? Would love to learn more!
Cheers,
Margot.

This is a leaden flycatcher. It can be distinguished from the restless from its habitat and actions. The restless is usually nearer the ground and almost hovers when seeking prey on the wing. The restless has a distinct call likened to "grinding scissors". The leaden female has much more extensive and deeper rufous on the upper breast (the male is black in this area), has a white eye ring and white lateral tail feathers. This therefore is a female leaden flycatcher. It is a migrant here in summer.
