Onychorhynchus coronatus (Royal Flycatcher; Amazonian Royal Flycatcher)

Synonyms: Muscicapa coronata
Language: Spanish

Wikipedia Abstract

The royal flycatchers are birds in the genus Onychorhynchus in the Tityridae family according to the IOC. Other taxonomic authorities including the AOU, Clements, and the IUCN, include it in Tyrannidae. Depending on authority, it includes a single widespread, or four more localized species. The specific epithet of the type species, coronatus, and the common name of all the species in this genus, royal flycatcher, refer to the striking, colourful crest, which is seen displayed very rarely, except after mating, while preening, in courtship as well as being handled.
