Bahia Tyrannulet (Phylloscartes beckeri)
About the Bahia Tyrannulet
The Bahia tyrannulet (Phylloscartes beckeri) is an Endangered species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is endemic to the Brazilian states of Bahia and Minas Gerais. The Bahia tyrannulet is monotypic. Gonzaga & Pacheco, who discovered and formally described the species, gave it its English name "because it is the only species of Phylloscartes known to be endemic to [the Bahia] area". They assigned the specific epithet beckeri to honor the Bahian biologist Johann Becker "in recognition of his long-standing interest in several fields of natural history".
