Rufous-webbed Bush Tyrant (Cnemarchus rufipennis)
About the Rufous-webbed Bush Tyrant
The rufous-webbed bush tyrant (Cnemarchus rufipennis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. The rufous-webbed bush tyrant was formally described in 1874 as Muscisaxicola rufipennis. It was later transferred to genus Cnemarchus that Robert Ridgway had erected in 1905. In the 1970s some authors moved it to genus Myiotheretes. A 1988 paper gave evidence that the species belonged in a new genus Polioxomis. However, a 2009 study hinted and 2020 studies confirmed that it belonged in Cnemarchus. Taxonomic systems began making the change in 2021. However, as of December 2024 BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World retained the species in Polioxomis.
