Dusky Piha (Lipaugus fuscocinereus)
About the Dusky Piha
The dusky piha (Lipaugus fuscocinereus) is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae, the cotingas. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The dusky piha was originally described as Querula fusco-cinerea, mistakenly placing it as a member of the Old World flycatcher family. It was later transferred to its current genus Lipaugus that had been erected in 1828. The dusky piha is monotypic. It and the scimitar-winged piha (L. uropygialis) are sister species; the chestnut-capped piha (L. weberi) may also belong to that clade.
