Purple-throated Fruitcrow (Querula purpurata)
About the Purple-throated Fruitcrow
The purple-throated fruitcrow (Querula purpurata) is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae, the cotingas. It is found in Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, and in every mainland South American country except Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The purple-throated fruitcrow was originally described as Muscicapa purpurata, mistakenly placing it with the Old World flycatchers. It was eventually moved to its present genus Querula that was erected in 1816. It is the only member of that genus and has no subspecies.
