Marshall (1942) Myiodynastes luteiventris Volcan de Santa Ana - Only tall trees in Coffee fincas or flat country shown in photo in Cordoba Antioquia. Shade trees had been thinned and the zonal appearance of the fincas was thus more like 'lower Tropical'. These birds occurred in 2's or 3's and were noticeable around tall dead snags. None were seen prior to date of 1st specimen & became more abundant after that. Very noisy always chasing each other, varied calls. Besides congaire perches often alighted in dense foliage (fruit eating?) lower down. Variety of postures - not the usual stiff erect flycatcher pose turning head side to side. Chilata: Pairs frequently encountered in tharbarns next to open fields.
