Rufous-fronted Greenlet

Tunchiornis ferrugineifrons

The rufous-fronted greenlet is a passerine bird in the family Vireonidae, the vireos. It is found in South America from Guyana and Brazil west of the Rio Negro north into Venezuela, east into southeast Colombia and south through Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. It was split from the ochre-crowned greenlet in 2025 by the IOC and Clements Checklist. Owing to its recent separation as a species, virtually nothing distinctive is known about its natural history.
