Here's the updated version of my Royal Flycatcher from SBRM Yucatan (hopefully re-released around the end of the month). The update includes not only the northern male which was in the original set but the female (shown here without its yellow crest raised) and the Amazonian subspecies as well. The Royal Flycatcher is broken into four subspecies groups; the "Northern" group found in the Yucatan, the "Amazionian" Group found in northern South America, the "Swainson's" group found in southeastern Brazil and the "Pacific" group in western Ecuador and Peru along the coastal areas. The Northern group shown here is the lightest brown of the subspecies and sports the iconic red-orange crest in males; yellow in females. The crests are more crimson in southern races. Across most of its range, Royal Flycatcher occupies the mid-story of humid lowland evergreen forest and adjacent tall second growth, often near stream and varzea forests. In Venezuela, it can occur in mixed mangrove and palm swamps. It avoids forests that had been recently logged. It can sometimes been seen in citrus orchards (predominantly oranges) in Panama during the winter months. Royal Flycatcher has an erect posture when perched, with the tail held perpendicular to the ground. It captures prey with sallies. Usually there is only one attack, before moving to a new location. The search time for the Royal Flycatcher is generally quite long, as it spends more time searching for prey than actually catching it. Its prey include ticks, aphids, scale insects, cicadas, and leafhoppers, butterflies and moths, dragonflies and damselflies, and grasshoppers, locusts and crickets. The Royal Flycatcher’s fan-shaped crest is rarely seen. It is used only in last resort intimidation of predators (such as a biologist banding the birds or a nosy photographer) and defending nesting territory. Rendered in Iray without postwork. Models include AMLM's Jungle Rainforest, my Songbird ReMix Yucatan and my Nature's Wonders Giant Moths and Moths of the World v2.
