Pelzeln's Tody-Tyrant (Hemitriccus inornatus)
About the Pelzeln's Tody-Tyrant
Pelzeln's tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus inornatus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Brazil, Suriname, and Venezuela. Pelzeln's tody-tyrant had a complicated taxonomic history from its original description in 1868 to late in the twentieth century. It was described as Euscarthmus inornatus. It was later moved to the genus Idioptilon, and later still both Euscarthmus and Idioptilon were merged into Hemitriccus. It was for a time treated as a subspecies of the pearly-vented tody-tyrant (H. margaritaceiventer). The type specimen of Pelzeln's tody-tyrant had been collected almost 40 years before Pelzeln formally described it in 1868. The species was not seen again until 1992. Pelzeln's tody-tyrant is monotypic.
