I got photos of a couple of dusky-capped flycatchers in southeastern Arizona. It is primarily a Central American/South American bird with a small range reaching into southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. There are 13 subspecies recognized. I saw ssp. olivascens which breeds in Arizona and New Mexico into northwestern Chihuahua to the mountains of eastern Sinaloa, western Durango and northern Nayarit.

| The first one I photographed was quite high in Madera Canyon in the Santa Rita Mountains. |
 |
| I got a much better view in the more deserty Rock Corral Canyon in the Tumacacori Mountains. |
