Riverside Tyrant (Knipolegus orenocensis)
About the Riverside Tyrant
The riverside tyrant (Knipolegus orenocensis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The riverside tyrant was formally described in 1884 as Cnipolegus orenocensis. The genus' spelling was later changed to the current Knipolegus. The riverside tyrant's further taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC, the Clements taxonomy, and the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society assign it these three subspecies: K. o. orenocensis Berlepsch, 1884 K. o. xinguensis Berlepsch, 1912 K. o. sclateri Hellmayr, 1906
