Tolmomyias Traylori Orange-eyed Flatbill; Iquitos, Peru
''Tolmomyias'' is a genus of Neotropical birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is one of the two genera containing the "flatbills"; the other is ''Rhynchocyclus''. The genus was erected by the Austrian ornithologist Carl Eduard Hellmayr in 1927 with the yellow-olive flatbill (''Tolmomyias sulphurescens'') as the type species. The genus name ''Tolmomyias'' combines the Ancient Greek ' "courage" or "boldness" with the Neo-Latin ' "flycatcher". These species are notoriously difficult to identify, except by voice. Their taxonomy is complex and it is likely that some "species" actually include several species level taxa. They are relatively thickset birds with proportionally large heads and, as suggested by their name, flat bills. All have a primarily yellow-green plumage Plumage ( "feather") is a layer of feathers that covers a bird and the pattern, colour, and arrangement of those feathers. The pattern and colours of plumage differ between species and subspecie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Yellow-olive Flatbill
The yellow-olive flatbill or yellow-olive flycatcher (''Tolmomyias sulphurescens'') is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in tropical and subtopical forest and woodland in Central and South America, but over its range there are significant variations in plumage, iris-colour and voice, leading to speculations that more than one species is involved. Its plumage is overall greenish-yellow, the lores are whitish, the crown is often greyish and some subspecies have a dusky patch on the auriculars. The flat bill is black above and pale pinkish or greyish below; similar to the yellow-margined flatbill, but unlike the grey-crowned flatbill.

Handbook Of The Birds Of The World
The ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' (HBW) is a multi-volume series produced by the Spanish publishing house Lynx Edicions in partnership with BirdLife International. It is the first handbook to cover every known living species of bird. The series was edited by Josep del Hoyo, Andrew Elliott, Jordi Sargatal and David A. Christie. All 16 volumes have been published. For the first time an animal class will have all the species illustrated and treated in detail in a single work. This has not been done before for any other group in the animal kingdom. Material in each volume is grouped first by family, with an introductory article on each family; this is followed by individual species accounts (taxonomy, subspecies and distribution, descriptive notes, habitat, food and feeding, breeding, movements, status and conservation, bibliography). In addition, all volumes except the first and second contain an essay on a particular ornithological theme. More than 200 renowned speci ...

Olive-faced Flatbill
The olive-faced flatbill or olive-faced flycatcher (''Tolmomyias viridiceps'') is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is found in riparian woodland and at the forest edge in western Amazonia. The olive-faced flatbill was described by the English ornithologists Philip Sclater and Osbert Salvin in 1873 from a specimen collected in Pebas, Peru. They coined the binomial name ''Rhynchocyclus viridiceps''. It was formerly treated as a subspecies In biological classification, subspecies is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (morphology), but that can successfully interbreed. Not all species ... of the ochre-lored flatbill (''Tolmomyias flaviventris'') but is now considered as a separate species based primarily on its very different vocalization.

Yellow-breasted Flycatcher
The ochre-lored flatbill (''Tolmomyias flaviventris'') or yellow-breasted flycatcher, is a passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family. It is found in South America, ranging from Colombia and Venezuela south to Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil, and on both Trinidad and Tobago. There are significant variations in its voice and plumage, with western birds duller and more olive, and eastern and northern birds brighter and more ochre-yellow. The two are sometimes considered separate species, the western olive-faced flatbill (or flycatcher), ''T. viridiceps'', and the eastern and northern ochre-lored flatbill (or flycatcher), ''T. flaviventris''.Gill, F., Wright, M. & Donsker, D.

Grey-crowned Flatbill
The grey-crowned flatbill or grey-crowned flycatcher (''Tolmomyias poliocephalus'') is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in humid forest in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest in South America. It closely resembles the yellow-margined and yellow-olive flatbills, but its lower mandible is dark with a pale base. It is a fairly common bird with a wide range and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated it as "least concern". Description ''Tolmomyias'' flatbills are robust small birds with broad beaks. The grey-crowned flatbill is about long and has a generally yellowish-green plumage, a grey cap and nape, and a yellowish throat marked with grey. The iris is usually a pale colour and the mandible has a dark tip. Several species of flatbill overlap in their range and are easily confused with each other visually, but their songs are mostly distinctive. The grey-crowned flatbill's song is a series of whistles rising in pitch with the final whistle t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The yellow-winged flatbill (''Tolmomyias flavotectus''), also known as yellow-winged flycatcher, is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is found in humid forests to the west of the Andes in north west Ecuador, Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica. Taxonomy The yellow-winged flatbill was described by the German ornithologist Ernst Hartert in 1902.

The yellow-margined flatbill or Zimmer's flatbill (''Tolmomyias assimilis'') is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is found in humid forest in southern Central America, and the Chocó and Amazon in South America. There are significant differences (notably voice) between the populations east and west of the Andes, leading to suggestions that the two should be regarded as separate species, in which case the population west of the Andes retains the English name yellow-margined flatbill (or flycatcher) but with the scientific name ''T. flavotectus'', while the Amazonian population retains the scientific name ''T. assimilis'' but with the English name Zimmer's flatbill (or flycatcher).
