About the Hangnest Tody-Tyrant

The hangnest tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus nidipendulus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is endemic to Brazil. The hangnest tody-tyrant has a complicated taxonomic history. It was originally described in 1831 as Euscarthmornis nidipendulus and was the type specimen for genus Euscarthmornis. In part of the twentieth century it was assigned to genus Idioptilon. Both Euscarthmornis and Idioptilon were eventually merged into Hemitriccus. The hangnest tody-tyrant has two subspecies, the nominate H. n. nidipendulus (Wied, 1831) and H. n. paulistus (Hellmayr, 1914).

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 55 recordings for this species: 43 CC BY-NC-SA · 12 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
