<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="contopus-sordidulus"></dinofyi-dinosaur>A fossil or subfossil flycatcher from the United States, Contopus sordidulus (the western wood-pewee) is known from Quaternary deposits documenting its Pleistocene distribution. An aerial insectivore of the Tyrannidae, fossil records from the western United States help reconstruct historical shifts in the range of this migratory bird through glacial and interglacial cycles.
