About the Common Tody-Flycatcher

The common tody-flycatcher (Todirostrum cinereum) is a small passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Mexico, in every Central American country, and in every mainland South American country except Chile and Uruguay.

The common tody-flycatcher was formally described by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1766 in the twelfth edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Todus cinereus. Linnaeus based his description on the "Grey and Yellow Fly-catcher" that had been described and illustrated in 1760 by George Edwards from a specimen collected in Suriname. The specific epithet cinereum is from Latin cinereus meaning "ash-grey". The common tody-flycatcher is now the type species of the genus Todirostrum that was introduced by René Lesson in 1831.

Eight subspecies are recognized: T. c. virididorsale Parkes, 1976 T. c. finitimum Bangs, 1904 T. c. wetmorei Parkes, 1976 T. c. sclateri (Cabanis & Heine, 1860) T. c. cinereum (Linnaeus, 1766) T. c. peruanum Zimmer, JT, 1930
