About the Dusky-capped Flycatcher

The dusky-capped flycatcher (Myiarchus tuberculifer) is a passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in the United States, Mexico, every Central American country, Trinidad, and in every mainland South American country except Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

The dusky-capped flycatcher was originally described in 1837 as Tyrannus tuberculifer. Its further taxonomic history is complex. At various times at least what are now seven separate species were included as subspecies of Myiarchus tuberculifer. It currently is assigned these 13 subspecies:

M. t. olivascens Ridgway, 1884 M. t. lawrenceii (Jacob Giraud Jr, 1841) M. t. querulous Nelson, 1904 M. t. platyrhynchus Ridgway, 1885 M. t. manens Parkes, 1982 M. t. connectens Miller, W & Griscom, 1925 M. t. littoralis Zimmer, JT, 1953

M. t. nigricapillus Cabanis, 1861 M. t. brunneiceps Lawrence, 1861 M. t. pallidus Zimmer, JT & Phelps, WH, 1946 M. t. tuberculifer (d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) M. t. nigriceps Sclater, PL, 1860 M. t. atriceps Cabanis, 1883

Plumage and vocalization similarities sort the subspecies into groups within the species. The North American Classification Committee... Wikipedia →
