Lathrotriccus
''Lathrotriccus'' is a small genus of passerine birds in the tyrant flycatcher family. They breed in tropical South America, including, for one species, the islands of Trinidad and formerly also Grenada. They closely resembles the ''Empidonax'' flycatchers in appearance, and were formerly placed in that genus, but differ anatomically and biochemically. There are only two species in the genus: These are birds of fairly open habitats such as open woods and arid scrub. They are inconspicuous birds, tending to keep to undergrowth perches from which they Hawking (birds), sally forth to catch insects.

Grey-breasted Flycatcher
The grey-breasted flycatcher (''Lathrotriccus griseipectus'') is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Ecuador and Peru. Taxonomy and systematics The grey-breasted flycatcher was Species description, originally described as ''Empidonax griseipectus''. Many authors retained it in ''Empidonax'' through most of the twentieth century. By the very early twenty-first century it was generally agreed to properly belong to ''Lathrotriccus'' which had been erected in 1986.Remsen, J. V., Jr., J. I. Areta, E. Bonaccorso, S. Claramunt, G.

Tyrant Flycatcher
The tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) comprise a family of passerine birds which is found virtually throughout North and South America. It is the world's largest family of birds, with more than 400 species, and is the most diverse avian family in every country in the Americas, except for the United States and Canada. The members vary greatly in shape, patterns, size, and colors. Some tyrant flycatchers may superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, which they are named after but are not closely related to. The Tyrannidae is a member of suborder Tyranni (suboscines), a group that lacks the sophisticated vocal capabilities of most other songbirds.del Hoyo, J. Elliott, A. & Christie, D. (editors). (2004) ''Handbook of the Birds of the World. Volume 9: Cotingas to Pipits and Wagtails''. Lynx Edicions. A number of species previously included in this family are now placed in the family Tityridae (''see Systematics''). Sibley and Alquist in their 1990 bird taxonomy had the gener ...

Empidonax
The genus ''Empidonax'' is a group of small insect, insect-eating passerine birds in the tyrant flycatcher family, the Tyrannidae. The genus name ''Empidonax'' is from Ancient Greek ''empis'', "gnat", and ''anax'', "master". Most of these birds are very similar in Feather, plumage: olive on the upper parts with light underparts, eye rings and wing bars. In the nesting season they may be distinguished by range, habitat (ecology), habitat and call; in other situations, particularly on bird migration, migration and in winter, it may not be possible to be sure of specific identification. ''Empidonax'' flycatchers often flick their wings and tails rapidly. Euler's flycatcher, ''Lathrotriccus euleri'' and gray-breasted flycatcher, ''Lathrotriccus griseipectus'' were formerly placed in ''Empidonax'', but differ anatomically and biochemically and are now placed in the genus ''Lathrotriccus''.

Passerine
A passerine () is any bird of the order Passeriformes (; from Latin 'sparrow' and '-shaped') which includes more than half of all bird species. Sometimes known as perching birds, passerines generally have an anisodactyl arrangement of their toes (three pointing forward and one back), which facilitates perching. With more than 140 families and some 6,500 identified species, Passeriformes is the largest order of birds and one of the most diverse clades of terrestrial vertebrates, representing 60% of birds.Ericson, P.G.P. et al. (2003Evolution, biogeography, and patterns of diversification in passerine birds ''J. Avian Biol'', 34:3–15.Selvatti, A.P. et al. (2015"A Paleogene origin for crown passerines and the diversification of the Oscines in the New World" ''Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution'', 88:1–15. Passerines are divided into three suborders: New Zealand wrens; Suboscines, primarily found in North and South America; and songbirds. Passerines originated in the ...

Bird
Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class (biology), class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the Oviparity, laying of Eggshell, hard-shelled eggs, a high Metabolism, metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight Bird skeleton, skeleton. Birds live worldwide and range in size from the bee hummingbird to the common ostrich. There are over 11,000 living species and they are split into 44 Order (biology), orders. More than half are passerine or "perching" birds. Birds have Bird wing, wings whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the Flightless bird, loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemism, endemic island species. The digestive and respiratory systems of birds are also uniquely a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
