Marble-faced Bristle Tyrant
Pogonotriccus ophthalmicus Taczanowski, 1874
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Marble-faced Bristle Tyrant, Pogonotriccus ophthalmicus, is a passerine in the Tyrannidae family and breeds in South America from Venezuela to Bolivia. It was first described by Taczanowski in 1874. The species has a disjunct range and is found in humid montane forest, especially mossy cloudforest, from mid-elevations. It usually stays in the forest interior but also uses clearings and edges. The sexes look alike, and the nominate form has a slate-grey crown, white lores and a white supercilium, with bright yellow-olive upperparts and yellow underparts.
