Ochre-faced Tody-Flycatcher (Poecilotriccus plumbeiceps)
About the Ochre-faced Tody-Flycatcher
The ochre-faced tody-flycatcher (Poecilotriccus plumbeiceps) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. The ochre-faced tody-flycatcher was originally described in 1846 as Todirostrum plumbeiceps. For a time in the early twentieth century it was assigned to genus Euscarthmornis and then returned to Todirostrum. Following a 1988 publication, taxonomic systems moved plumbeiceps 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 ochre-faced and the ruddy tody-flycatcher (P. russatus) form a superspecies.
