The olive-faced flatbill or olive-faced flycatcher (Tolmomyias viridiceps) is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is found in riparian woodland and at the forest edge in western Amazonia.
The olive-faced flatbill was described by the English ornithologists Philip Sclater and Osbert Salvin in 1873 from a specimen collected in Pebas, Peru. They coined the binomial name Rhynchocyclus viridiceps.[2] It was formerly treated as a subspecies of the ochre-lored flatbill (Tolmomyias flaviventris) but is now considered as a separate species based primarily on its very different vocalization.[3][4]
