Dusky-capped Greenlet (Pachysylvia hypoxantha)
About the Dusky-capped Greenlet
The dusky-capped greenlet (Pachysylvia hypoxantha) is a species of bird in the family Vireonidae, the vireos, greenlets, and shrike-babblers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The dusky-capped greenlet was originally described in 1868 as Hylophilus hypoxanthus. For a time early in the twentieth century it was considered a subspecies of the golden-fronted greenlet (P. aurantiifrons) but beginning in the 1930s it attained its status as a full species. The dusky-capped greenlet has these six subspecies: Pachysylvia hypoxantha hypoxantha (Pelzeln, 1868) Pachysylvia hypoxantha fuscicapillus (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1880) Pachysylvia hypoxantha flaviventris (Cabanis, 1873) Pachysylvia hypoxantha icterica (Bond, J, 1953) Pachysylvia hypoxantha albigula Chapman, 1921
