 Are There Two Species of Shrub Flycatcher (Sublegatus)?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In Surinam I (Hayerschmidt, 1968) similarly found SubIegatus a rather common bird in the coastal mangroves of Avicennia nitida where it is present all through the year and where it certainly breeds, though I never found a nest.
I have collected it at different localities in the mangroves from the Nickerie District (the east bank of the Corantijn River) in the west, near Leonsberg (on the left bank of the Surinam River where it meets the Commewijne River), and further eastward in the mangroves bordering the Matal:ica Creek in the Commewijne District.
These inland specimens, though in worn plumage, can be distinguished at a glance from the coastal birds by their paler yellow abdomens, more extensively grayish underparts, and duller (less olive) upperparts.
