Green-and-black Fruiteater (Pipreola riefferii)
About the Green-and-black Fruiteater
The green-and-black fruiteater (Pipreola riefferii) is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae, the cotingas. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The green-and-black fruiteater was originally described as Ampelis riefferii. It was soon moved to its present genus Pipreola. The green-and-black fruiteater's further taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC and Birdlife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World assign it these six subspecies: P. r. occidentalis (Chapman, 1914) P. r. riefferii (Boissonneau, 1840) P. r. confusa Zimmer, JT, 1936 P. r. chachapoyas (Hellmayr, 1915) P. r. melanolaema Sclater, PL, 1856 P. r. tallmanorum O'Neill & Parker, TA, 1981 However, the Clements taxonomy does not recognize P. r. confusa, including it within P. r. chachapoyas.
