Phylloscartes
''Phylloscartes'' is a genus of small birds in the family Tyrannidae. They are found in wooded habitats of Central America, Central and South America. They mainly feed on small arthropods, and most commonly take part in mixed species flocks. The mottled-cheeked tyrannulet is among the commonest birds in its range, but several other species are rare and threatened. Their plumage is predominantly green, yellow, white and grey, and many have contrasting facial patterns and wing-bars. They have thin, pointed beak, bills, and relatively long tails. Most frequently cock their tail, perch relatively horizontally and are very active. The genus ''Pogonotriccus'' has usually been merged into ''Phylloscartes''. In 2004 John W. Fitzpatrick, John Fitzpatrick in the ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' chose to treat ''Pogonotriccus'' as a separate genus based on the slight differences in behaviour of the birds in the two genera. Frank Gill (ornithologist), Frank Gill and David Donsker then ...

Tyrannidae
The tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) are a family of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America. They are considered the largest family of birds known to exist in the world, with more than 400 species. They are the most diverse avian family in every country in the Americas, except for the United States and Canada. The members vary greatly in shape, patterns, size and colors. Some tyrant flycatchers may superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, which they are named after but are not closely related to. They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines), which do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of most other songbirds.del Hoyo, J. Elliott, A. & Christie, D. (editors). (2004) ''Handbook of the Birds of the World. Volume 9: Cotingas to Pipits and Wagtails''. Lynx Edicions. A number of species previously included in this family are now placed in the family Tityridae (''see Systematics''). Sibley and Alquist in their 1990 bird taxonomy had th ...

Bahia Tyrannulet
The Bahia tyrannulet (''Phylloscartes beckeri'') is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to the state of Bahia in eastern Brazil. It is the second most recently described bird in the genus ''Phylloscartes'' after the cinnamon-faced tyrannulet which was described two years later. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby .... References External linksBirdLife Species Factsheet.
