Description
Zimmer's flatbill (Tolmomyias assimilis) or the yellow-margined flatbill is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It is found in humid forest in southern Central America, and the Chocó and Amazon in South America. There are significant differences (notably voice) between the populations east and west of the Andes, leading to suggestions that the two should be regarded as separate species, in which case the population west of the Andes retains the English name yellow-margined flatbill (or flycatcher) but with the scientific name T. flavotectus, while the Amazonian population retains the scientific name T. assimilis but with the English name Zimmer's flatbill (or flycatcher). Both population closely resemble the yellow-olive flatbill, and are typically best separated from that species by voice.

Habitat
The yellow-margined Flycatcher is predominantly found in the mid-levels and subcanopy regions of humid terra firme and várzea forest. Its habitat also extends to tall second-growth forests and plantations, marked by a preference for more mature forest areas. This species is most abundant in regions where similar species, notably the Yellow-olive Flycatcher, are less common.
