Chestnut-crested Cotinga (Ampelion rufaxilla)
About the Chestnut-crested Cotinga
The chestnut-crested cotinga (Ampelion rufaxilla) is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The chestnut-crested cotinga shares genus Ampelion with the red-crested cotinga (A. rubrocristatus). Early in the twentieth century some authors had placed both of them in genus Heliochera, which no longer exists. The chestnut-crested cotinga has two subspecies, the nominate A. r. rufaxilla (Tschudi, 1844) and A. r. antioquiae (Chapman, 1924).
