     by Olaf Jahn from Bonampak, Chiapas, Mexico (song)

Subspecies
Placed by early authors in the family Cotingidae, with supposed close relationship to genera Laniocera and Lipaugus. However, well-supported anatomical evidence indicates that it is a tyrannid, having close affinities to Sirystes, Casiornis and Myiarchus.

The following 2 subspecies are recognised:

  • holerythra (Sclater & Salvin, 1860)   -  Atlantic slope from southern Mexico (northern Oaxaca) south to Panama and northern Colombia (east to Santander).
  • rosenbergi (Hartert, 1905)   -  Pacific lowlands of western Colombia (southern from southern Chocó) and north-western Ecuador (Esmeraldas).
