Dark-winged Trumpeter (Psophia viridis)
About the Dark-winged Trumpeter
The dark-winged trumpeter or green-winged trumpeter (Psophia viridis) is a species of bird in the family Psophiidae. It is endemic to Brazil. The dark-winged trumpeter's taxonomy is far from settled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) assigns it three subspecies, the nominate P. v. viridis, P. v. dextralis, and P. v. obscura. The Clements taxonomy splits a fourth from dextralis, P. v. interjecta. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) treats each of the three IOC-recognized subspecies as separate species, the "green-winged", "olive-winged", and "black-winged" trumpeters respectively. HBW includes interjecta as a subspecies of the "olive-winged". Considerable evidence supports the treatment as three species. This article follows the IOC three-subspecies model.
