It is found in Mexico, every Central American country except El Salvador, and western Colombia. This species was formerly known as the tawny-crowned greenlet and was considered to be conspecific with the Para greenlet, Guianan greenlet and rufous-fronted greenlet. == Taxonomy and systematics == The ochre-crowned greenlet was formally described in 1860 as Hylophilus ochraceiceps by the English zoologist Philip Sclater. The specimen had been collected in the state of Oaxaca of southwestern Mexico by the French ornithologist Adolphe Boucard. The specific epithet combines the Modern Latin ochraceus meaning "ochraceous" with -ceps meaning "-capped". The species is now placed in the genus Tunchiornis that was introduced in 2014. Five subspecies are recognised: T. o. ochraceiceps (Sclater, PL, 1860) – Gulf lowlands of southern Mexico to Guatemala T. o. pallidipectus (Ridgway, R, 1903) – southern Guatemala and Honduras to northwestern Panama T. o. pacificus (Parkes, KC, 1991) – southeastern Costa Rica and western Panama T. o. nelsoni (Todd, WEC, 1929) – eastern Panama (Veraguas to Darién Province) T. o. bulunensis (Hartert, EJO, 1902) – far eastern Panama to Pacific coast of Colombia…
