About the Ochre-bellied Flycatcher

The ochre-bellied flycatcher (Mionectes oleagineus) is a small bird of the tyrant flycatcher family. It is found in Mexico, Central America, Trinidad and Tobago, and northern South America. For a time in the mid-twentieth century the ochre-bellied flycatcher was placed in genus Pipromorpha, which by the 1980s had been merged into Mionectes. A study published in 2008 suggested that Pipromorpha be resurrected for this species and two others but that action has not been followed. The study did reveal that, rather than the uplifting of the Andes giving rise to the ochre-bellied flycatcher's subspecies, at least four separate lineages including some trans-Andean movement are responsible. It also suggested that the ochre-bellied flycatcher might comprise more than one species.

As of late 2024 the ochre-bellied flycatcher had these seven subspecies: M. o. assimilis Sclater, PL, 1859 M. o. parcus Bangs, 1900 M. o. abdominalis (Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1955) M. o. pallidiventris Hellmayr, 1906

M. o. dorsalis (Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1952) M. o. pacificus (Todd, 1921) M. o. oleagineus (Lichtenstein, MHC, 1823) The ochre-bellied flycatcher... Wikipedia →
