Buff-cheeked Tody-Flycatcher (Poecilotriccus senex)
About the Buff-cheeked Tody-Flycatcher
The buff-cheeked tody-flycatcher (Poecilotriccus senex) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is endemic to Brazil. The buff-cheeked tody-flycatcher was originally described in 1868 as Euscarthmus senex. Since its description it was variously assigned to genera Platyrinchus and Todirostrum. Following a 1988 publication, taxonomic systems moved senex 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 buff-cheeked tody-flycatcher is monotypic.
