Orange-eyed Flatbill (Tolmomyias traylori)
About the Orange-eyed Flatbill
The orange-eyed flatbill or orange-eyed flycatcher (Tolmomyias traylori) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Though the first specimens of the orange-eyed flatbill were collected in the 1860s it was not recognized as a distinct species until the 1980s and then formally described in 1997. Its specific epithet honors Melvin Alvah Traylor Jr. "in recognition of his outstanding contributions to ornithology" and who "long ago [had] singled out as unusual the Field Museum's two specimens of the species". The orange-eyed flatbill is monotypic.
