The suiriri flycatcher (Suiriri suiriri) is a species of bird in subfamily Elaeniinae of family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Suriname, and Uruguay. The suiriri flycatcher was described by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1818 under the binomial name Muscicapa suiriri. The type locality is Puerto Pinasco in Paraguay.
The suiriri flycatcher is the only member of its genus. Into the early twenty-first century the suiriri flycatcher had a complicated taxonomic history. Based on a study published in 2014 the chapada flycatcher's binomial was changed to S. affinis.
Some taxonomic systems had split the suiriri flycatcher into two species... Wikipedia →
