Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Grey-capped Flycatcher (Myiozetetes granadensis) - HBW 9, p. 407
French: Tyran à tête grise
German: Graukappen-Maskentyrann
Spanish: Bienteveo Cabecigrís
Taxonomy: Myiozetetes granadensis Lawrence, 1862, Panama.
Morphological and behavioural evidence suggests genus most closely related to Legatus; nesting behaviour links with Pitangus. Molecular data indicate strong support for a clade consisting of present species and M. luteiventris as sister-group to one formed by M. cayanensis and M. similis. Race occidentalis possibly better merged with nominate; further study required. Three subspecies currently recognized.
