Painted Tody-Flycatcher (Todirostrum pictum)
About the Painted Tody-Flycatcher
The painted tody-flycatcher (Todirostrum pictum) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, and possibly Colombia. The painted tody-flycatcher was originally described in 1897 as a full species with its current binomial Todirostrum pictum. Some mid-twentieth century authors considered it a subspecies of the yellow-browed tody-flycatcher (T. chrysocrotaphum) but by the 1970s it had regained is status as a full species. Several authors treat the painted, yellow-browed, and black-headed tody-flycatcher (T. nigriceps) as a superspecies. The painted tody-flycatcher is monotypic.
