Wied's Tyrant-Manakin (Neopelma aurifrons)
About the Wied's Tyrant-Manakin
Wied's tyrant-manakin (Neopelma aurifrons) is a Near-threatened species of bird in the family Pipridae, the manakins. It is endemic to Brazil. Wied's tyrant-manakin was originally described in 1831 as Muscicapa aurifrons, mistakenly placing it in the Old World flycatcher family. It was reassigned to genus Neopelma that was erected in 1860 with it as the type species. In 1944 what is now the Serra do Mar tyrant-manakin Neopelma chrysolophum was described as a subspecies of Wied's tyrant-manakin. They were separated based on a study published in 1995. Wied's tyrant-manakin is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 37 recordings for this species: 35 CC BY-NC-SA · 2 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
