About the Yellow-throated Flycatcher
The white-ringed flycatcher (Conopias albovittatus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. The white-ringed flycatcher has a complicated taxonomic history. It was originally described as Pitangus albovittatus, grouping it with the great kiskadee (P. sulphuratus). In 1906 genus Coryphotriccus was erected for it. Starting in the 1960s authors began merging this genus into genus Conopias that had been erected in 1860. For a time it bore the binomial C. albovittata but early in the twenty-first century Conopias was recognized as masculine so the specific epithet was changed to albovittatus to match that gender.
The white-ringed flycatcher has two subspecies, the nominate C. a. albovittatus (Lawrence, 1862) and C. a. distinctus (Ridgway, 1908). What is now the yellow-throated flycatcher (C. parvus) was treated as a third subspecies but was separated in the early twenty-first century.
The white-ringed flycatcher is 15 to 16.5 cm (5.9 to 6.5 in) long and weighs about 24 g (0.85 oz). The sexes have the same plumage; females are slightly smaller than males... Wikipedia →
