About the Cinnamon-faced Tyrannulet
The cinnamon-faced tyrannulet (Phylloscartes parkeri) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia and Peru.

The four were the first members of the genus described since the Minas Gerais tyrannulet (P. roquettei) in 1928, and as of late 2024 no others had been described since.
The first known specimen of the cinnamon-faced tyrannulet was collected in 1899 but was misidentified as a rufous-lored tyrannulet (P. flaviventris). When it was recognized as a separate species the two were suggested to form a superspecies.
The cinnamon-faced tyrannulet's specific epithet honors American ornithologist Theodore A. Parker III for his "skill in the field [and] unbridled enthusiasm for birds and conservation". The cinnamon-faced tyrannulet is about 11.5 cm (4.5 in) long; six individuals... Wikipedia →
