São 14 espécies do gênero Contopus, porém como você se refere ao "wood pewee", seriam apenas o Contopus virens:

Eastern Wood-Pewee: Contopus virens - Papa-moscas do Norte ou Piui-verdadeiro

Contopus albogularis, Piui-queixado, White-throated Peewee; Contopus cinereus, Papa-moscas-cinzento, Tropical Peewee; Contopus cooperi, Piui-boreal, Empidonax traillii. maria-fibiu. Empidonax alnorum, papa-moscas-de-Alder. Contopus cooperi, piui-boreal. Contopus fumigatus. piui-de-topete. Contopus virens ...Contopus cooperi > Papa-moscas Oliváceo
