Buff-breasted Tody-Tyrant

The buff-breasted tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus mirandae) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is endemic to Brazil. == Taxonomy and systematics == The buff-breasted tody-tyrant has a complicated taxonomic history. It was originally described in 1925 as Todirostrum mirandae. Later in the twentieth century it was moved to genus Idioptilon which was later still merged into Hemitriccus. The buff-breasted tody-tyrant is now monotypic. However, what is now Kaempfer's tody-tyrant (H. kaempferi) was previously treated as a subspecies of it. == Description == The buff-breasted tody-tyrant is about 10 cm (3.9 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a darkish olive crown and pale creamy buff face. Their back and rump are darkish olive. Their wings are dusky olive with wide creamy edges on the innermost secondaries. Their tail is dusky olive. Their throat and breast are pale creamy buff, their belly more whitish, and their crissum pale yellow. They have an orange iris, a gray maxilla, a paler mandible, and gray to pale pinkish legs and feet. == Distribution and habitat == The buff-breasted tody-tyrant has a disjunct distribution in northeastern Brazil, intermittently in the states of Ceará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, and Alagoas.…
