The rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher (Poecilotriccus latirostris) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Peru. The rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher was originally described in 1868 as Euscarthmus latirostris. It was later moved to genus Todirostrum. Following a 1988 publication, taxonomic systems moved latirostris and several other species from Todirostrum to genus Poecilotriccus. By the early twenty-first century genus Poecilotriccus had species called both "tody-tyrant" and "tody-flycatcher" so taxonomic systems began renaming the "tyrants" to "flycatcher". The rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher shares genus Poecilotriccus with 11 other species. It and the smoky-fronted tody-flycatcher (P. fumifrons) form a superspecies.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rusty-fronted Tody-Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Amacayacu National Natural Park (72 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
