Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Fuscous Flycatcher (Cnemotriccus fuscatus) - HBW 9, p. 356
French: Moucherolle fuligineux
German: Augenstreif-Schnäppertyrann
Spanish: Mosquero Parduzco
Taxonomy: M[uscipeta] fuscata Wied, 1831, no locality = probably Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Probably most closely related to Lathrotriccus. Some authorities suggest that more than one species may be involved, because of variation in plumage, voice and behaviour (particularly with regard to races duidae and bimaculatus); conversely, some races possibly unwarranted; further research required in order to clarify true taxonomic status of races. Seven subspecies currently recognized.
