The tawny-crowned greenlet was

Oaxaca of southwest Mexico by the French ornithologist
Adolphe Boucard . Sclater coined the
binomial name Hylophilus ochraceiceps .
[2] The specific name combines the
Modern Latin ochraceus meaning "ochraceous" with -ceps meaning "-capped".
[3] The species is now placed in the
monotypic genus Tunchiornis that was introduced in 2014.
