McConnell's Flycatcher (Mionectes macconnelli)
About the McConnell's Flycatcher
McConnell's flycatcher (Mionectes macconnelli) is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. McConnell's flycatcher was described by the English ornithologist Charles Chubb in 1919 as a subspecies of the ochre-bellied flycatcher. He coined the trinomial name Pipromorpha oleaginea macconnelli and specified the type location as the Kamakabra River in British Guiana. The name macconnelli was chosen to honor the memory of Frederick Vavasour McConnell (1868-1914), an English traveller and collector. It was treated as a separate species by the American ornithologist Clyde Todd in 1921, and was placed in the genus Mionectes by Melvin Traylor in Volume 8 of the Check-list of Birds of the World published in 1979.
