Taxonomic Swap 116417 (Committed on 2022-11-04)

The syringeal morphology of Tumbes Tyrant Tumbezia salvini is identical to that of Ochthoeca (Lanyon 1986), and genetic evidence indicates that Tumbezia either is embedded in Ochthoeca (Tello et al. 2009) or is basal to Ochthoeca (Harvey et al. 2020). Therefore we transfer Tumbes Tyrant to Ochthoeca; change the scientific name to Ochthoeca salvini, and change the English name to Tumbes Chat-Tyrant.
