White-eyed Attila (Attila bolivianus)
About the White-eyed Attila
The white-eyed attila or dull-capped attila (Attila bolivianus) is a species of bird in the passerine family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. The white-eyed attila was first described by French ornithologist Frédéric de Lafresnaye in 1848. 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. The white-eyed attila has two subspecies, the nominate A. b. bolivianus (Lafresnaye, 1848) and A. b. nattereri (Hellmayr, 1902). Its specific and suspecific epithets bolivianus derive from the country Bolivia. The subspecific epithet "nattereri" honors the Austrian naturalist Johann Natterer.
