About the Stripe-necked Tody-Tyrant

The stripe-necked tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus striaticollis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. The stripe-necked tody-tyrant has a complicated taxonomic history. It was originally described in 1853 as Todirostrum striaticolle. During different parts of the twentieth century it was placed in genera Euscarthmornis and Idioptilon, both of which were eventually merged into Hemitriccus. Also during parts of the twentieth century what are now Johannes's tody-tyrant (H. iohannis) and the white-eyed tody-tyrant (H. zosterops) were treated as subspecies of the stripe-necked tody-tyrant.

Some authors doubt the validity of the latter. The stripe-necked tody-tyrant is 11 to 12 cm (4.3 to 4.7 in) long and weighs 7.8 to 11 g (0.28 to 0.39 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a grayish brown crown. They have a large white spot above the lores, a white eye-ring, and grayish brown ear coverts.... Wikipedia →
