Classification: Genus Onychorhynchus (Onychorhynchus); Family Tyrannidae (Tyrannidae)General:
The royal flycatchers are a genus, Onychorhynchus, of passerine birds in the family Tityridae[1][2] according to the IOC. Other taxonomic authorities including the AOU, Clements, and the IUCN, include it in Onychorhynchidae. Depending on authority, it includes a single widespread,[1] or four more localized species.[2] The specific epithet of the type species, coronatus, and the common name of all the species in this genus, royal flycatcher, refer to the striking, colourful crest,[3] which is seen displayed very rarely,[3] except after mating, while preening, in courtship as well as being handled.[3]
