This pretty little reed specialist is one of South America's most easily identified flycatchers, but not the easiest to photograph! Posted 4 years ago

    Well as far as I know, that was proposed based on a single genetic study, and it's not widely accepted (yet). Tyrannidae is a huge, very diverse family, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it split a number of ways, but I wouldn't be surprised either to see classification go back and forth in coming years with more studies.
