It is found on Trinidad and in every mainland South American country except Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. == Taxonomy and systematics == The sulphury flycatcher was originally described as Muscicapa sulphurea, erroneously classifying it as an Old World flycatcher. Robert Ridgway erected genus Tyrannopsis for it in 1905. The sulphury flycatcher is the only member of its genus and has no subspecies. == Description == The sulphury flycatcher is about 19 to 20 cm (7.5 to 7.9 in) long and weighs 48 to 61 g (1.7 to 2.2 oz).

Their upperparts and tail are dull olive brown. Their wings are dark brownish dusky. Their throat is whitish with blurry dark gray streaks on its sides. Their upper breast is white and the rest of their underparts bright yellow. Their breast has an olive gray wash and olive gray streaks on its sides and their…
