The Cliff Flycatcher is marked by deep rufous underparts and extensive rufous on the wings and tail. From exposed rocky perches it sallies after flying insects, often returning to the same perch.
The underparts are deep rufous, with extensive rufous on the wings and tail. Its long, broad wings support short bursts of flapping followed by glides.
It perches in open places such as cliffs, rock outcrops, roadcuts, towns, and suburbs, then makes long sallies for aerial insects and often returns to the same perch.
