Southern Antpipit (Corythopis delalandi)
About the Southern Antpipit
The southern antpipit (Corythopis delalandi) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. The southern antpipit was originally described as Muscicapa delalandi, a member of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It was eventually moved to genus Corythopis in the gnateater family Conopophagidae. Some authors later suggested that it belonged to family Formicariidae, the antthrushes. A study published in 1968 placed the genus in its current family, but there is still uncertanty about where it belongs. The southern antpipit shares genus Corythopis with the ringed antpipit (C. toquatus). They are treated as a superspecies and have been suggested to be conspecific. The southern antpipit is monotypic.
