Yellow-headed Manakin (Chloropipo flavicapilla)
About the Yellow-headed Manakin
The yellow-headed manakin (Chloropipo flavicapilla) is a Vulnerable species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. The yellow-headed manakin was originally described as Pipra flavicapilla. During much of the twentieth century it was placed in genus Xenopipo. However, a study published in 2013 showed that Xenopipo was polyphyletic and proposed resurrecting genus Chloropipo for the yellow-headed and jet manakins. Taxonomic systems soon adopted the reassignments. The yellow-headed manakin is monotypic.
