This is such a lovely picture of your tyrannulet Celso. An excellent job you've done here my friend.

I'll upload it to The Opus article shortly, as you've shown his side view with wing bars so nicely.

Can you tell me if the current picture there is the same subspecies? My geographical knowledge of your country is sadly not that good.

This is one awesome image of this Tyrannulet Celso and so beautifully captured.
 
Dear Delia, thanks again for using my picture on Opus. This is the nominated race, I guess you could use simply Phyllomyias fasciatus, if you can, please do edit my post and remove the last "fasciatus", so it will be easier to match the Opus article :)
Thanks everyone else for commenting.
 
Hi Celso, your Planalto Tyrannulet may be brevirostris rather than the nominate which has a range only as far South as Mato Grosso.
 
You're definitely right Chris, I must change the name ASAP, maybe Delia can help me edit my post. Thanks! I still have an email of ours from Aug 2014 where it was a lot of work sorting this one ID out, you had to discuss with friends and all, we were between Phyllomyias fasciatus, Phyllomyias griseocapilla, Phyllomyias virescens :)
Thanks again!

Thanks very much Celso and Chris.

The new subspecies has been noted and re-directed to The Opus as well.

I see you have been able to edit your post yourself Celso, very well done.
