Taxonomy
editThe yellow-winged flatbill was described by the German ornithologist Ernst Hartert in 1902. He coined the trinomial name Rhynchocyclus megacephala flavotectus and specified the type location as Hacienda Paramba, Imbabura, Ecuador.[2][3] It was formerly treated as a subspecies of yellow-margined flatbill (Tolmomyias assimilis) which is found to the east of the Andes and has very different vocalization.[4][5]
