Description
In appearance, the social flycatcher resembles a smaller boat-billed flycatcher or great kiskadee. The adult is 16–18 cm (6.3–7.1 in) long and weighs 24–27 g (0.85–0.95 oz). The head is dark grey with a strong white eyestripe and a usually concealed orange to vermilion crown stripe. The upperparts are olive-brown, and the wings and tail are brown with only faint rufous fringes. The underparts are yellow and the throat is white. Young birds have a paler eye mask, reduced crown stripe, and have chestnut fringes to the wing and tail feathers. The call is a sharp peeurrr and the dawn song is a chips-k’-cheery. As the specific epithet similis (Latin for "the similar one") indicates, this species looks much like its closest living relative the rusty-margined flycatcher (Myiozetetes cayanensis), and also like the white-bearded flycatcher (Phelpsia inornatus), white-ringed flycatcher (Conopias albovittatus) and lesser kiskadee (Pitangus/Philohydor lictor). In fact, except at close range, these are all but indistinguishable from appearance alone. They and the two larger similar species mentioned above share much of their range. Though they all are apparently fairly close relatives, the group to which they seem to belong also includes species with rather different head-pattern, like the grey-capped flycatcher which also belongs to Myiozetetes.

Feeding Habits
Social Flycatcher primarily feeds on insects and other small prey like tadpoles, supplementing its diet with small berries, arillate seeds, and various fruits. Utilizing agile aerial hunting techniques, social Flycatcher is adept at capturing food, exhibiting a varied foraging behavior that enables it to exploit diverse food sources.
Habitat
Social Flycatcher typically inhabits a range of moist to semi-arid lowland environments, often in semi-open landscapes. Commonly found in areas with scattered vegetation such as bushes and trees, the species thrives in shrubby clearings, secondary growth, and the peripheries of forests and woodlands. Proximity to bodies of water like lakes and riverbanks is preferred. Social Flycatcher is also adaptable to human-altered habitats, including shady gardens, pasturelands, cultivated fields, and urban residential zones. They are primarily situated at altitudes below 1000 meters but can be found up to 1700 meters, particularly during nesting periods.
