Physical Description
The Olive-Stripped Flycatcher is of olive-green coloration, as its name indicated. It has some streaky underparts and pale spots behind its eyes, with narrow wings. It is commonly confused with its close relative, the Streak-Necked Flycatcher. What differentiates them the mot is that the Olive-Stripped has a much more greener head and lacks the solid gray discoloration on its forehead,face and neck, which the Streaked-Necked Flycatcher exhibits.
