About the Cinnamon Flycatcher
The cinnamon flycatcher (Pyrrhomyias cinnamomeus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is native to the cloud forests of the Andes and other South American mountain ranges, and is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
The cinnamon flycatcher was originally described as Muscicapa cinnamomea, a member of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. In the mid-nineteenth century it was recognized as a tyrant flycatcher and moved to its current genus, where it is the only member.
The cinnamon flycatcher has these six subspecies: P. c. assimilis (Allen, JA, 1900) P. c. vieillotioides (Lafresnaye, 1848) P. c. spadix Wetmore, 1939 P. c. pariae Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1949 P. c. pyrrhopterus (Hartlaub, 1843)
P. c. cinnamomeus (D'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) The Clements taxonomy further sorts the subspecies into the Santa Marta group (assimilis), the Venezuelan group (vieillotioides, spadix, and pariae), and the Andean group (pyrrhopterus and cinnamomeus). Several of the subspecies were originally described as full species, and P. c. assimilis may warrant reconsideration as one. Wikipedia →
