The three-striped flycatcher was originally described as Muscicapa trivirgata, mistakenly placing it in the Old World flycatcher family. It was later moved into genus Conopias that had been erected in 1860.

The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies C t. trivirgatus have a dusky brown crown and face with a white supercilium that begins at the lores and wraps all the way around the nape. Their upperparts are pale olive. Their wings are dusky... Wikipedia →
