White-browed Purpletuft (Iodopleura isabellae)
About the White-browed Purpletuft
The white-browed purpletuft (Iodopleura isabellae) is a small species of bird in the family Tityridae, the tityras, becards, and allies. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The white-browed purpletuft was originally described in 1847 as Iodopleurus isabellae. The genus' spelling was later changed to Iodopleura. Well into the twentieth century authors placed that genus in Cotingidae. Several early twenty-first century studies confirmed the placement of Iodopleura in Tityridae and taxonomic systems made the reassignment.
