"The name Tom Fool is given indiscriminately to different species of flycatchers from their habit of perching at the end of a low branch, taking a short flight to capture some passing insect, and returning to the identical spot to swallow the prey, within easy reach of the bystander’s hand."

The Stolid Flycatcher (Myiarchus stolidus) is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family. It is found in Cayman Islands, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Jamaica. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, and heavily degraded former forest.
