Screaming Piha (Lipaugus vociferans) [XC512307]
     by Barry Edmonston from Roura, Montagne des Chevaux, French Guiana (song)

 
Screaming Piha (Lipaugus vociferans) [XC764878]
     by Alain Malengreau from Saul, Arrondissement of St.-Laurent-du-Maroni, French Guiana (song)

Subspecies
No subspecies.

Analysis of feather proteins has suggested possible relationship between this species and genus Tijuca (especially Black-and-gold Cotinga (Lipaugus ater)). Despite increase in size and weight from north to south-west of range, and presence of isolated population in eastern Brazil, variation considered insufficient to merit naming of geographical subspecies.
