Handsome Flycatcher (Nephelomyias pulcher)
About the Handsome Flycatcher
The handsome flycatcher (Nephelomyias pulcher) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and possibly Bolivia. The handsome flycatcher was originally described as Myiobius pulcher. It was later moved to genus Myiophobus. A study published in 2009 determined that the handsome flycatcher and two other species did not belong there so the genus Nephelomyias was created for them in 2010. The handsome flycatcher has three subspecies, the nominate N. p. pulcher (Sclater, PL, 1861), N. p. bellus (Sclater, PL, 1862), and N. p. oblitus (Bond, J, 1943).
