Ochthoeca

Ochthoeca is a genus of birds in the Tyrannidae family.

In recent times, it has usually contained the following species:

  • Brown-backed chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca fumicolor
  • White-browed chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca leucophrys
  • Piura chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca piurae
  • D'Orbigny's chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca oenanthoides
  • Rufous-breasted chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca rufipectoralis
  • Slaty-backed chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca cinnamomeiventris
    • Maroon-belted chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca cinnamomeiventris thoracica
  • Crowned chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca frontalis
    • Kalinowski's chat-tyrant, Ochthoeca frontalis spodionota
  • Jelski's chat-tyrant Ochthoeca jelskii
  • Yellow-bellied chat-tyrant Ochthoeca diadema
  • Golden-browed chat-tyrant Ochthoeca pulchella

But it has turned out that the last three, which some had considered to belong in Silvicultrix, may form a distinct genus. However, they are anatomically very similar and the genetic data may to be inconsistent , so the question is not fully resolved.
