Grey-eyed Greenlet (Hylophilus amaurocephalus)
About the Grey-eyed Greenlet
The grey-eyed greenlet (Hylophilus amaurocephalus) is a species of bird in the family Vireonidae, the vireos, greenlets, and shrike-babblers. It is found in Brazil and possibly Bolivia. The grey-eyed greenlet was originally described in 1835 as Sylvia amaurocephala, mistakenly placing it among what were then the "Old World warblers". For much of the twentieth century it was treated as a subspecies of the rufous-crowned greenlet (Hyophilus poicilotis) but by the 1990s was generally recognized as a full species. The grey-eyed greenlet is monotypic.
