White-tipped Plantcutter (Phytotoma rutila)
About the White-tipped Plantcutter
The white-tipped plantcutter (Phytotoma rutila) is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae, the cotingas. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and as a vagrant to Brazil and Chile. For part of the twentieth century the genus Phytotoma was placed in its own family Phytotomidae but subsequent genetic testing proved that it belonged in its current Cotinga family. The white-tipped plantcutter shares genus Phytotoma with the Peruvian plantcutter (P. raimondii) and rufous-tailed plantcutter (P. rara). It and the Peruvian are sister species. The white-tipped plantcutter has two subspecies, the nominate P. r. rutila (Vieillot, 1818) and P. r. angustirostris (d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837).
