Scientific Classification
Genus: Mionectes; binomial: Mionectes galbinus; authority: Bangs, 1902.

Breeding range: Middle America and South America.
Conservation Status
This taxon is listed as Extant (living) in the IOC World Bird List.
Remarks
Mionectes galbinus (including hederaceus, venezuelensis and fasciaticollis) is split from monotypic M. olivaceus primarily on significant differences in song, bill structure and minor plumage differences (del Hoyo & Collar 2016; Boesman 2016; HBW/BirdLife). The English name Olive-striped Flycatcher is retained by the polytypic split form, and the restricted-range M. olivaceus becomes Olive-streaked Flycatcher. The songs in polytypic M. galbinus are quite variable. Further cryptic species may be involved (see Fitzpatrick et al. 2020).
