Jet Manakin (Chloropipo unicolor)
About the Jet Manakin
The jet manakin (Chloropipo unicolor) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. The jet manakin was originally described as Chloropipo unicolor. 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 jet and yellow-headed manakins. Taxonomic systems soon adopted the reassignments. The jet manakin is monotypic.
