Flycatcher \Fly"catch`er\, n. (Zo["o]l.)
   One of numerous species of birds that feed upon insects,
   which they take on the wing.

   Note: The true flycatchers of the Old World are Oscines, and
         belong to the family {Muscicapid[ae]}, as the spotted
         flycatcher ({Muscicapa grisola}). The American
         flycatchers, or tyrant flycatchers, are Clamatores, and
         belong to the family {Tyrannid[ae]}, as the kingbird,
         pewee, crested flycatcher ({Myiarchus crinitus}), and
         the vermilion flycatcher or churinche ({Pyrocephalus
         rubineus}). Certain American flycatching warblers of
         the family {Sylvicolid[ae]} are also called
         flycatchers, as the Canadian flycatcher ({Sylvania
         Canadensis}), and the hooded flycatcher ({S. mitrata}).
         See {Tyrant flycatcher}.
