Pale-eyed Pygmy Tyrant (Atalotriccus pilaris)
About the Pale-eyed Pygmy Tyrant
The pale-eyed pygmy tyrant (Atalotriccus pilaris) is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Panama, and Venezuela. The pale-eyed pygmy tyrant's taxonomy is unsettled. It was originally described as Colopterus pilaris in 1847. It was later moved into genus Atalotriccus, where most taxonomic systems retain it. However, the North American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society follows the recommendation of Lanyon (1988) that Atalotriccus be merged into Lophotriccus. In addition, several authors have suggested that both Atalotriccus and Lophotriccus should be merged into genus Hemitriccus. The pale-eyed pygmy tyrant is the only member of genus Atalotriccus; it has these four subspecies: A. p. wilcoxi Griscom, 1924
