About the Black-tipped Cotinga

The black-tipped cotinga (Carpodectes hopkei) is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama. The black-tipped cotinga shares genus Carpodectes with the yellow-billed cotinga (C. antoniae) and the snowy cotinga (C. nitidus). One early twentieth century author treated them as conspecific but they have been otherwise treated as separate species. The three form a superspecies. The black-tipped cotinga is monotypic. At least one twentieth century author called Carpodectes hopkei the white cotinga.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 2 recordings for this species: 1 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
