Black-headed Berryeater (Carpornis melanocephala)
About the Black-headed Berryeater
The black-headed berryeater (Carpornis melanocephala) is a Near Threatened species of bird in the family Cotingidae, the cotingas. It is endemic to Brazil. The hooded berryeater was originally described as Procnias melanocephalus. Early in the twentieth century some authors placed it in genus Ampelion but by 1970 it was moved to its present genus Carpornis that had been erected in 1846. The black-headed berryeater shares its genus with the hooded berryeater (C. cuculata). It is monotypic.
