Fork-tailed Tody-Tyrant (Hemitriccus furcatus)
About the Fork-tailed Tody-Tyrant
The fork-tailed tody-tyrant or fork-tailed pygmy tyrant (Hemitriccus furcatus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is endemic to Brazil. The fork-tailed tody-tyrant was originally described in 1846 as Todirostrum furcatum. During part of the twentieth century some authors placed it by itself in genus Ceratotriccus, which by about 1980 was merged into Hemitriccus. Its closest relative appears to be Kaempfer's tody-tyrant (H. kaempferi). The fork-tailed tody-tyrant is monotypic.
