About the Ochre-crowned Greenlet

The ochre-crowned greenlet (Tunchiornis ochraceiceps) is a species of bird in the family Vireonidae, the vireos, greenlets, and shrike-babblers. It is found in Mexico, every Central American country except El Salvador, and western Colombia. This species was formerly known as the tawny-crowned greenlet and was considered to be conspecific with the Para greenlet, Guianan greenlet and rufous-fronted greenlet.
