Olive Tufted Flycatcher (Mitrephanes olivaceus)
About the Olive Tufted Flycatcher
The olive tufted flycatcher or olive flycatcher (Mitrephanes olivaceus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. The olive tufted flycatcher was originally described as a full species. For much of the twentieth century it was treated as a subspecies of the northern tufted flycatcher (M. phaeocercus) and was restored to full species status late in the century. The olive tufted and northern tufted flycatchers are the only species in genus Mitrephanes. The olive tufted flycatcher is monotypic.
