Buff-throated Purpletuft (Iodopleura pipra)
About the Buff-throated Purpletuft
The buff-throated purpletuft (Iodopleura pipra) is a small Endangered species of bird in the family Tityridae, the tityras, becards, and allies. It is endemic to Brazil. The buff-throated purpletuft was originally described in 1831 as Pardalotus pipra, mistakenly placing it in the pardalote family of Australia. It was later assigned to genus 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. The buff-throated purpletuft shares genus Iodopleura with the dusky purpletuft (I. fusca) and the white-browed purpletuft (I. isabellae).
