Subspecies
Distinctive monotypic genus of uncertain affinities, hypothesized as closest to Myiophobus on basis of cranial characters, bright crown patch and cup-shaped nest.
The following 4 subspecies are recognised:
ornatus (Lafresnaye, 1853) - Central Andes and western slope at northern end of eastern range, in Colombia.
stellatus (Cabanis, 1873) - Western Colombia and western Ecuador.
phoenicurus (Sclater, PL, 1855) - Eastern Andes of south-eastern Colombia, eastern Ecuador and Peru (north of R Marañón). Considered by some authors to be a distinct species, Eastern Ornate Flycatcher (Myiotriccus phoenicurus).
