Guianan Tyrannulet Zimmerius acer: Very common north of Manaus and in Virua NP. This species
was lumped in Slender-footed Tyrannulet.
Olive-green Tyrannulet Phylloscartes virescens: One seen from the INPA Tower. A rather uncommon
species seen most frequently seen from this tower.
Ochre-bellied Flycatcher Mionectes oleagineus: Commonly seen around São Gabriel.
McConnell’s Flycatcher Mionectes macconnelli: A few seen north of Manaus. .
Amazonian Inezia (Amazonian Pale-tipped Tyrannulet) Inezia subflava: Fairly common along the
Igarapé-Açu. This species was recently split from Pale-tipped Tyrannulet (I. caudate). The
genus is named after Cherrie’s daughter, with which it still shares the habitat (see
Cherrie’s Antwren).
Pale-tipped Tyrannulet Inezia caudata: Very common in gallery woodlands in Roraima.
Short-tailed Pygmy-Tyrant Myiornis ecaudatus (H): Heard at São Gabriel.
Double-banded Pygmy-Tyrant Lophotriccus vitiosus: Heard and seen at Iracema Falls.
Helmeted Pygmy-Tyrant Lophotriccus galeatus: Seen and heard at several sites throughout.
Snethlage’s Tody-Tyrant Hemitriccus minor: Very common in the Anavilhanas Archipelago. The form
involved here being pallens.
White-eyed Tody-Tyrant Hemitriccus zosterops: We saw one and heard others at Anavilhanas
Jungle lodge.
Pelzeln’s Tody-Tyrant Hemitriccus inornatus: After three hours we all managed fantastic views of this
rare campina specialist that feeds in the canopy of tall thick woodlands. A species only
recently rediscovered in the campinas north of Manaus. Now found to be quite
widespread across the campina of the region. Named after the Austrian ornithologist and
collector August Edler Von Pelzeln. It would seem he has had a number of rather drab
species that are difficult to see named after him: Grey-bellied Antbird and Brownish
Elaenia amongst them.
Pearly-breasted Tody-Tyrant Hemitriccus margaritaceiventer: We heard this widespread species at
the Virua NP. This has only recently been discovered in this area and therefore occurs
sympatrically with Pelzeln’s Tody-Tyrant. It seems the latter occupies the tall campina
woodlands and the former more open scrubby habitats.
Spotted Tody-Flycatcher Todirostrum maculatum: Common throughout.
Yellow-browed Tody-Flycatcher Todirostrum chrysocrotaphum: We heard a number at São Gabriel
and saw a pair along the Careiro Road.
Amazonian Royal Flycatcher Onychorhynchus coronatus: One seen and another heard at São
Gabriel.
Rufous-tailed Flatbill Ramphotrigon ruficauda: Several seen and heard along the Cucui Road.
Yellow-olive Flycatcher (Y-o Flatbill) Tolmomyias sulphurescens: Seen in Roraima and probably in
the Anavilhanas.
Yellow-breasted Flycatcher (Y-b flatbill) Tolmomyias flaviventris: Several seen in Roraima.
Zimmer’s Flycatcher (Z Flatbill) Tolmomyias assimilis: We saw a number of birds north of Manaus of
the form examinatus form and near São Gabriel of the form named neglectus. Note that
more than one species seem to be involved.
Grey-crowned Flycatcher Tolmomyias poliocephalus: Very common throughout.
White-crested Spadebill Platyrinchus platyrhynchos: We saw a single bird near São Gabriel.
Whiskered Flycatcher Myiobius barbatus: Several birds seen at São Gabriel.
Fuscous Flycatcher Cnemotriccus fuscatus: We saw a couple of birds in Roraima in gallery
woodlands. There is research suggesting the varzea form fuscatior, and the white sand
form duidae are separate species. Indeed although these forms are vocally distinct there
are quite a number of other forms whose designation would be problematic as a
consequence.
Vermillion Flycatcher Pyrocephalus rubinus: Common to abundant in Roraima.
White-headed Marsh Tyrant Arundinicola leucocephala: Common in Roraima.
