‘Atlantic Royal Flycatcher’ Onychorhynchus swainsoni, Tapiraí–Trilha dos Tucanos Lodge, São Paulo, Brazil, September 2021 (Pablo Andrés Ortega: 8 birdingpablo.com). This taxon is deeply genetically divergent, geographically disjunct and vocally distinct from other taxa in the Royal Flycatcher complex O. coronatus, which–as Tom Schulenberg explains on p49–is now proposed to comprise six distinct species.
