Cerulean-capped Manakin (Lepidothrix coeruleocapilla)
About the Cerulean-capped Manakin
The cerulean-capped manakin (Lepidothrix coeruleocapilla) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is endemic to Peru. The cerulean-capped manakin was originally described in 1844 as Pipra coeruleo-capilla. By the late 1900s genus Lepidothrix was recognized as separate from Pipra and several species including the cerulean-capped manakin were assigned to it. The cerulean-capped manakin is monotypic. It and the blue-rumped manakin (L. isidorei) are sister species.
