I'm getting these from my sibling, Duck on wheels. Some things might be lost in translation. Not in language but from her being pretty well versed in birds and my being ... well not so much.
But here's another of her pictures of flycatchers. This one's a Black Phoebe hard at work. They are listed among "Miscellaneous Flycatchers" in the Peterson Field Guide. They tend to perch on a twig looking every which-way for some little flying morsel, then fly out hovering low over water or grass to catch it, and often fly back to the same lookout post when they've made their catch.
