This is a Cinnamon Flycatcher! I liked this bird because the name makes so much sense. South American birds are usually named for what they are (like the Black-Capped Warbling Finch) but even then I still get a bit confused. What is a warbling finch, exactly? Anyway, unlike those, this name is really obvious. The bird is structured like most of the flycatchers I'm used to seeing around back home. And as for the Cinnamon part, the name appears to be a perfect fit.
I took this picture along a dirt road somewhere in Bolivia...probably a couple hours outside Cochabamba on June 28, 2012.
