It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. == Taxonomy and systematics == The cinnamon flycatcher was originally described as Muscicapa cinnamomea, a member of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. In the mid-nineteenth century it was recognized as a tyrant flycatcher and moved to its current genus, where it is the only member. The cinnamon flycatcher has these six subspecies: P. c. assimilis (Allen, JA, 1900) P. c. vieillotioides (Lafresnaye, 1848) P. c. spadix Wetmore, 1939 P. c. pariae Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1949 P. c. pyrrhopterus (Hartlaub, 1843) P. c. cinnamomeus (D'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) The Clements taxonomy further sorts the subspecies into the Santa Marta group (assimilis), the Venezuelan group (vieillotioides, spadix, and pariae), and the Andean group (pyrrhopterus and cinnamomeus). Several of the subspecies were originally described as full species, and P. c. assimilis may warrant reconsideration as one. == Description == The cinnamon flycatcher is 11 to 13 cm (4.3 to 5.1 in) long and weighs about 11 g (0.39 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies P.…
