About the Ochre-faced Tody-Flycatcher
The ochre-faced tody-flycatcher (Poecilotriccus plumbeiceps) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. The ochre-faced tody-flycatcher was originally described in 1846 as Todirostrum plumbeiceps. For a time in the early twentieth century it was assigned to genus Euscarthmornis and then returned to Todirostrum. Following a 1988 publication, taxonomic systems moved plumbeiceps and several other species from Todirostrum to genus Poecilotriccus. By the early twenty-first century genus Poecilotriccus had species called both "tody-tyrant" and "tody-flycatcher" so taxonomic systems began renaming the "tyrants" to "flycatcher". The ochre-faced and the ruddy tody-flycatcher (P. russatus) form a superspecies.
The ochre-faced tody-flycatcher has these four subspecies: P. p. obscurus (Zimmer, JT, 1940) P. p. viridiceps (Salvadori, 1897) P. p. plumbeiceps (Lafresnaye, 1846) P. p. cinereipectus (Novaes, 1953) The ochre-faced tody-flycatcher is 9 to 10 cm (3.5 to 3.9 in) long and weighs 5.3 to 6 g (0.19 to 0.21 oz). The sexes have the same plumage... Wikipedia →
