Olive-striped Flycatcher

The olive-striped flycatcher (Mionectes galbinus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Trinidad, and Venezuela. == Taxonomy and systematics == The four subspecies of what is now the olive-striped flycatcher were previously treated as subspecies of what is now the olive-streaked flycatcher (Mionectes olivaceus). (Confusingly, the original unsplit species was called the olive-striped flycatcher but bore the present olive-streaked flycatcher's binomial Mionectes olivaceus.) Based primarily on vocal differences the species were separated by taxonomic systems beginning in 2016, leaving the olive-streaked flycatcher as a monotypic species. However, as of late 2024, the North American and South American Classification Committees of the American Ornithological Society have not agreed to the split. They retain the olive-striped flycatcher/Mionectes olivaceus names. The four subspecies of the olive-striped flycatcher are: M. g. hederaceus Bangs, 1910 M. g. galbinus Bangs, 1902 M. g. venezuelensis Ridgway, 1906 M. g. fasciaticollis Chapman, 1923 Some authors have suggested that M. g. galbinus should be treated as a separate monotypic species. Others have suggested that the olive-striped flycatcher "may consist of several cryptic species, a possibility that merits further investigation". == Description == The olive-striped flycatcher…
