Inca Flycatcher (Leptopogon taczanowskii)
About the Inca Flycatcher
The Inca flycatcher (Leptopogon taczanowskii) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is endemic to Peru. The Inca flycatcher was originally described in 1884 as Leptopogon rufipectus. Due to a conflict of this binomial with that of what is now the rufous-breasted flycatcher, by the principle of priority it was renamed Leptopogon taczanowskii in 1917. The Inca flycatcher is monotypic. It and the rufous-breasted flycatcher (L. rufipectus) are sister species and may form a superspecies.
