Golden-fronted Greenlet (Pachysylvia aurantiifrons)
About the Golden-fronted Greenlet
The golden-fronted greenlet (Pachysylvia aurantiifrons) is a small passerine bird in the family Vireonidae, the vireos, greenlets, and shrike-babblers. It is found in Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, and Trinidad. The golden-fronted greenlet was originally described in 1861 as Hylophilus aurantiifrons. The golden-fronted greenlet has three subspecies, the nominate P. a. aurantiifrons (Lawrence, 1861), P. a. helvina (Wetmore & Phelps, WH Jr, 1956), and P. a. saturata (Hellmayr, 1906). In the early twentieth century what is now the dusky-capped greenlet (P. hypoxantha) was also included as a subspecies. The golden-fronted and rufous-naped (P. semibrunnea) greenlets are sister species and form a superspecies.
