Poecilotriccus is a genus of small birds in the Tyrannidae family. Except for the recently described Johnson's Tody-Flycatcher, all have, at one point or another, been included in the genus Todirostrum. Some species have been known as tody-tyrants instead of tody-flycatchers.[1] Most species are found in South America, but a single species, the Slate-headed Tody-Flycatcher, is also found in Central America.
