Grey-hooded Flycatcher
The grey-hooded flycatcher (Mionectes rufiventris) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. == Taxonomy and systematics == For a time in the mid-twentieth century the grey-hooded flycatcher was placed in genus Pipromorpha, which by the 1980s had been merged into Mionectes. A study published in 2008 suggested that Pipromorpha be resurrected for this species and two others but that action has not been followed. The grey-hooded flycatcher is monotypic. == Description == The grey-hooded flycatcher is 13.5 to 14 cm (5.3 to 5.5 in) long and weighs about 14 g (0.49 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a slate gray crown, nape, and face. Their back and rump are dark olive. Their wings and tail are dusky olive. Their chin and throat are pale gray that becomes buffy olive on the lower breast and bright cinnamon-buff on the belly, flanks, and undertail coverts. Both sexes have a dark brown iris, a long dark brownish gray bill with a pale pinkish base to the mandible, and medium brownish gray legs and feet. == Distribution and habitat == The grey-hooded flycatcher is found in southeastern Brazil…
