About the Ochraceous Attila
The ochraceous attila (Attila torridus) is a Near-threatened species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. From early in the twentieth century until the 1970s many authors classified genus Attila in family Cotingidae; after that it was recognized as belonging to family Tyrannidae. In the early twentieth century the ochraceous attila and the cinnamon attila (A. cinnamomeus) were treated as conspecific.
The ochraceous attila is monotypic. The ochraceous attila is 20 to 22 cm (7.9 to 8.7 in) long and weighs about 46 g (1.6 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a cinnamon-ochraceous head. Their upperparts are mostly cinnamon-ochraceous with a yellowish rump and base of the tail. Their wings are mostly cinnamon ochraceous with blackish primaries. Their wing coverts are dusky with wide ochraceous edges that show as two wing bars. Their underparts are yellowish ochraceous with the belly being yellowest. They have a reddish brown iris, a dusky bill, and gray legs and feet.
The ochraceous attila is found from extreme southwestern Colombia... Wikipedia →
