Lipaugus
''Lipaugus'' is a genus of birds in the family Cotingidae. Taxonomy The genus was introduced in 1828 by the German zoologist Friedrich Boie in 1828. Boie spelled the genus name as ''Lipangus'' but this was corrected to ''Lipaugus''. The name comes from the Greek ''lipaugēs'', meaning "dark" or "devoid of light". The type species was designated by George Gray in 1840 as the screaming piha. The genus contains nine species.

Cinnamon-vented Piha
The cinnamon-vented piha (''Lipaugus lanioides'') is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil. This species is dull brownish-grey overall. It is slightly paler and duller underneath. As its name suggests, it has a wash of cinnamon brown at the vent. It measures long. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. Declines in range and population are likely contributed to continuing habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species. The organisms that previously inhabited the site are displaced or dead, thereby ... and degradation, which has caused this species to be classified as Least concern.

Screaming Piha
The screaming piha (''Lipaugus vociferans'') is a species of passerine bird in the family Cotingidae. It is found in humid forests in the Amazon and tropical parts of the Mata Atlântica in South America. They are most notable for their extraordinarily loud voice. Distribution and habitat The screaming piha is a common bird in the middle and lower parts of the canopy at altitudes below about , or up to in Venezuela and the Andean foothills. Description The screaming piha grows to a length of about . Both sexes have dull grey plumage (wings and tail often somewhat duskier) and the underparts are paler grey. Juveniles are grey tinged with brown or rust. Behavior and ecology The screaming piha is an elusive bird despite its distinctive voice, remaining still for long periods and blending in with the branches. It is usually solitary, but may sometimes join a mixed species foraging group. Diet and feeding Screaming pihas feed mainly on fruits, but also consumes insects, ...

Chestnut-capped Piha
The chestnut-capped piha (''Lipaugus weberi'') is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is endemic to a small portion of Colombia’s central Andes in the department of Antioquia. The chestnut-capped piha resides only in a narrow band of humid premontane cloud forest. It is a dark grey passerine with a notable chestnut crown on the upper nape and pale cinnamon-colored undertail coverts. Adults are small for pihas, measuring about long. Males have modified primary feathers with elongated and stiff barbules that enable them to create a whirring noise with their wings, which the piha likely uses for display purposes. Its call is extremely loud and can be heard over away. The chestnut-capped piha is mostly frugivorous, although it will eat some invertebrates. Little is known about the species' breeding ecology, although it is believed to be a lekking species. The chestnut-capped piha was not discovered until 1999, due in large part to the very limited and to politi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rose-collared Piha
The rose-collared piha (''Lipaugus streptophorus'') is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is found in humid forests growing in the tepui highlands in south-eastern Venezuela, western Guyana and far northern Brazil. Only the male has the rosy collar for which this species is named. The female resembles the screaming piha, but has a cinnamon vent. Description The adult male rose-collared piha has the upper parts dark grey and the underparts slightly paler grey, especially on the belly. Round the neck is a conspicuous broad magenta collar and there is a similar patch of colour round the vent. The female is similar to the male but lacks the magenta collar, and the area around the vent is rusty-brown. This bird grows to a length of about . The male is unlikely to be confused with any other species, but the female could be confused with the female screaming piha (''Lipaugus vociferans''), but that species is a uniform grey and lacks the rufous area round the vent.

Rufous Piha
The rufous piha (''Lipaugus unirufus'') is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is found in Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Description The adult rufous piha is about long and the sexes look similar. The upper parts are a uniform reddish-cinnamon and the underparts are similar but a slightly paler shade, the throat being the palest part. The bill is broad and either flesh-coloured or brown at the base, and there is sometimes a slight ring round the eye. This bird could be confused with the speckled mourner (''Laniocera rufescens'') but that bird is shorter and more slender, with a slimmer bill and a relatively longer tail; the male rufous piha utters various piercing, whistling calls. Ecology The rufous piha breeds between March and August in Costa Rica, there probably being two clutches in the year. The diet consists largely of fruits, su ...

Black-and-gold Cotinga
The black-and-gold cotinga (''Lipaugus ater'') is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is endemic to humid Atlantic Forest in the highlands of the Serra do Mar in south-eastern Brazil. It is threatened by habitat loss, but remains common within several national parks, e.g. Serra dos Órgãos and Itatiaia. Males are highly vocal, and their loud, piercing whistle is frequently heard. It is strongly sexually dimorphic. Except for a bright yellow wing-speculum, males are superficially similar to the male common blackbird, while the far less conspicuous females are overall olive. The female resemble both sexes of the only other member of the genus, the grey-winged cotinga, but is larger, has a thicker bill, and yellowish-olive (not grey) remiges. This species was formerly placed in the genus ''Tijuca''. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found the ''Tijuca'' was embedded within the genus ''Lipaugus ''Lipaugus'' is a genus of birds in the family Cotingidae ...
