The lemon-browed flycatcher (Conopias cinchoneti) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, and possibly Bolivia. The lemon-browed flycatcher was originally described as Tyrannus Cinchoneti[sic], placing it with the kingbirds. It was later moved into genus Conopias that had been erected in 1860.
The lemon-browed flycatcher is 15.5 to 16 cm (6.1 to 6.3 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have an olive-green crown and face with a bright grayish yellow forehead and a wide pale yellow supercilium that wraps almost all the way around the nape. Their upperparts are dark olive. Their wings are dusky brownish with paler edges on the tertials. Their tail is dusky brownish. Their chin, throat, and underparts are bright yellow with an olive tinge on the sides of the breast. Subspecies C. c. icterophrys is very similar to the nominate, with perhaps less yellow on the forehead, a thinner supercilium... Wikipedia →
