About the Rusty-fronted Tody-Flycatcher
The rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher (Poecilotriccus latirostris) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Peru. The rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher was originally described in 1868 as Euscarthmus latirostris. It was later moved to genus Todirostrum. Following a 1988 publication, taxonomic systems moved latirostris 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 rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher shares genus Poecilotriccus with 11 other species. It and the smoky-fronted tody-flycatcher (P. fumifrons) form a superspecies.
The rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher has these seven subspecies: P. l. mituensis (Olivares, 1965) P. l. caniceps (Chapman, 1924) P. l. latirostris (Pelzeln, 1868) P. l. mixtus (Zimmer, JT, 1940) P. l. ochropterus (Allen, JA, 1889)
P. l. austroriparius (Todd, 1952) P. l. senectus (Griscom & Greenway, 1937) The rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher... Wikipedia →
