Eye-ringed Flatbill (Rhynchocyclus brevirostris)
About the Eye-ringed Flatbill
The eye-ringed flatbill (Rhynchocyclus brevirostris) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Mexico, every Central American country, and Colombia. The eye-ringed flatbill was originally described in 1847 as Cyclorhynchus brevirostris. It has three subspecies, the nominate R. b. brevirostris (Cabanis, 1847), R. b. pallidus (Laurence C. Binford, 1965), and R. b. hellmayri (Griscom, 1932). For a time in the early twentieth century what is now the Pacific flatbill (R. pacificus) was also treated as a subspecies.
