French: Moucherolle à ailes rousses
German: Rostspiegel-Buschtyrann
Spanish: Birro Alirrufo
Other common names: Rufous-webbed Tyrant/Ground-tyrant
Taxonomy: Muscisaxicola rufipennis Taczanowski, 1874, Maraynioc, Peru.
Formerly placed in Cnemarchus or Xolmis, and sometimes grouped with Myiotheretes; syringeal and other morphological evidence, however, indicates that current monotypic genus for this species is warranted. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- rufipennis (Taczanowski, 1874) - Andes of Peru (S from S Amazonas, Cajamarca and Lambayeque) and W Bolivia.
- bolivianus Fjeldså, 1990 - Andes of WC Bolivia S to extreme N Chile and NW Argentina.
