Olive-faced Flatbill
Tolmomyias viridiceps (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1873)
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Olive-faced Flatbill, Tolmomyias viridiceps, is a passerine of the western Amazon Basin in South America, breeding in w Amazonia across Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. It is a tyrant flycatcher that lives mainly in forest beside rivers, especially along várzea edges. It is also found less often in terra firme and savanna woodland. The species was described in 1873 by Philip Sclater and Osbert Salvin. It is recognised as distinct from the ochre-lored flatbill, with separation based chiefly on its different vocalisations.
