Members of the Myiarchus genus have brown and more rounded heads.

There are several birds with similar colors, but I think it is what I suggested. More info here, but it is in portuguese: http://www.wikiaves.com.br/maria-cavalei...

it is close but i have yet to see one with anything like a crest and they dont have the banding around the neck. how big do they get? these are about the size as a thin robin.
