Yellow-winged Cacique © flickr.com

Often placed in genus Cacicus, but preliminary mitochondrial DNA data suggest an ancestral position within the cacique - oropendola clade. Is a rather distinctive species, geographically isolated from other caciques, with habitat preferences somewhat different from those of latter, and with nest resembling those of oropendolas. For all those reasons, placement in its own monotypic genus seems appropriate.
