French: Pitajo à sourcils d’or
German: Gelbbrauen-Schmätzertyrann
Spanish: Pitajo Cejidorado
Other common names: Yellow-browed Chat-tyrant
Taxonomy: Ochthoeca pulchella P. L. Sclater and Salvin, 1876, Tilotilo, Yungas of La Paz, Bolivia.
Sometimes placed with O. frontalis, O. diadema and O. jelskii in a separate genus, Silvicultrix, but genetic and anatomical data indicate that this would make present genus paraphyletic. All four form a superspecies. Formerly considered conspecific with O. frontalis and, later, with O. jelskii. Two subspecies recognized.
