Say`s Phoebes are medium-sized, gray-brown flycatchers in the tyrant family with salmon-pink bellies and solid black tails and bills. In flight, very pale translucent, outer wing-feathers are just visible. The juvenile has salmon-colored wind-bars.
They wait on a perch on a shrub or rock and fly out to catch insects in flight. They also forage by hovering over fields. And sometimes eat certain berries.
This bird was named for Thomas Say, the american naturalist.
