Yungas Manakin (Chiroxiphia boliviana)
About the Yungas Manakin
The Yungas manakin (Chiroxiphia boliviana) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The Yungas manakin was originally described in 1889 as Chiroxiphia pareola boliviana, a subspecies of the blue-backed manakin. A study published in 1987 noted how it differed in morphology, song, and courtship display from C. pareola sensu stricto. Following the study's suggestions, taxonomic systems elevated it to species rank with its current English name. The Yungas manakin is monotypic.
