Genus Muscivora, a genus of small birds in the Tyrannidae family, is commonly known as flycatchers due to their insectivorous diet. Some synonyms for this genus include muscicapids, muscivores, and tyrant flycatchers. The muscicapids are a family of passerines with a broad range of soft-plumed birds, from warblers and thrushes to flycatchers like the genus Muscivora. Muscivores are the true flycatchers, specialized in catching flies on the wing, while the tyrant flycatchers refers to their territorial nature as they will attack any intruders near their nesting sites, displaying a tyrant-like behavior. Regardless of their synonyms, these birds are nimble aerialists and integral members of the bird community.
