Smoky-fronted Tody-Flycatcher (Poecilotriccus fumifrons)
About the Smoky-fronted Tody-Flycatcher
The smoky-fronted tody-flycatcher (Poecilotriccus fumifrons) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Suriname, and Venezuela. The smoky-fronted tody-flycatcher was originally described in 1853 as Todirostrum fumifrons. Following a 1988 publication, taxonomic systems moved fumifrons and several other species from Todirostrum to genus Poecilotriccus. By the early twenty-first century genus Poecilotriccus had species called both "tody-tyrant" and "tody-flycatcher" so taxonomic systems began renaming the "tyrants" to "flycatcher". The smoky-fronted tody-flycatcher shares genus Poecilotriccus with 11 other species. It and the rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher (P. latirostris) form a superspecies.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 32 recordings for this species: 27 CC BY-NC-SA · 5 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
