The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:
Pearly-vented Tody Tyrant ssp. Hemitriccus margaritaceiventer breweri W. H. Phelps Jr, 1977
Charles Brewer-Carías (b.1939) is a Venezuelan dentist, who, after 20 years in practice, became an explorer and speleologist. He is well known to the indigenous people of the Venezuelan highlands, as he fixed their teeth while exploring their territory. He was shot by thieves (2003) but, despite some loss of flexibility in his shoulder, still explores. The world's largest quartzite cave is named after him, as are two amphibians.

The Key to Scientific Names
Charles Brewer-Carías (b. 1938) Venezuelan dentist, anthropologist, explorer (subsp. Hemitriccus margaritaceiventer).

If Wikipedia correct indeed born 10 September 1938 (an not 1939). And 1938 is in accordance with here or here and several other sources.

The amphibians are:

  • Stefania breweri Barrio-Amorós & Fuentes-Ramos, 2003 OD A new species of Stefania (Anura: Hylidae: Hemiphractinae) from the summit of the cerro Autana, estado Amazonas, Venezuela. Herpetologica 59(4): 506-514. (not seen)
  • Anomaloglossus breweri (Barrio-Amorós, 2006) OD in here (but only abstract)

As usually I hope he is going still strong.
