Pachyramphus
A becard is a bird of the genus ''Pachyramphus'' in the family Tityridae. Taxonomy The genus ''Pachyramphus'' was introduced in 1839 by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in the volume on birds by John Gould that formed part of Charles Darwin's '' Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle''. The type species was designated by Gray in 1840 as the green-backed becard (''Pachyramphus viridis''). The generic name is from the Ancient Greek ''pakhus'' meaning "stout" or "thick" and ''rhamphos'' meaning "bill". The genus had traditionally been placed in Cotingidae or Tyrannidae, but evidence strongly suggests that it is better placed in the family Tityridae, where it is now placed by the IOC. Extant species The genus contains seventeen species: Former species Some authorities, either presently or formerly, recognize several additional species as belonging to the genus ''Pachyramphus'' including: * Rusty-vented canastero (as ''Bathmidura Dorbignyi'') Description The becards a ...

Tityridae
Tityridae is family of suboscine passerine birds found in forest and woodland in the Neotropics. The 45 species in this family were formerly spread over the families Tyrannidae, Pipridae and Cotingidae (''see Taxonomy''). As yet, no widely accepted common name exists for the family, although tityras and allies and tityras, mourners and allies have been used. They are small to medium-sized birds. Under current classification, the family ranges in size from the buff-throated purpletuft, at and , to the masked tityra, at up to and . Most have relatively short tails and large heads. Taxonomy and systematics The family Tityridae (as the subfamily Tityrinae) containing the genera ''Tityra'' and ''Pachyramphus'' was introduced by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1840. Traditionally, the genus ''Laniocera'' was included in the family Tyrannidae, the genera ''Iodopleura'', '' Laniisoma'', '' Tityra'', ''Pachyramphus'' and '' Xenopsaris'' were included in the family Coting ...

Yellow-cheeked Becard
The yellow-cheeked becard (''Pachyramphus xanthogenys'') is a passerine bird in the family Tityridae. It is treated variously as a distinct species or as a subspecies of the green-backed becard, ''Pachyramphus viridis''. It has traditionally been placed in Cotingidae or Tyrannidae, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae, where now placed by the South American Classification Committee. It is mainly found in Ecuador and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. There are two subspecies: * ''Pachyramphus xanthogenys xanthogenys'' Salvadori & Festa, 1898 – south Colombia, east Ecuador * ''Pachyramphus xanthogenys peruanus'' Hartert & Goodson, 1917 – central Peru References BioLib yellow-cheeked becard Birds of the Ecuadorian Andes Birds of the Peruvian Andes yellow-cheeked becard The yellow-cheeked becard (''Pachyramphus xanthogenys'') is a passerine bird in th ...

Cinnamon Becard
The cinnamon becard (''Pachyramphus cinnamomeus'') is a passerine bird found in Latin America. Taxonomy It has been placed with the tityras in the cotinga or the tyrant flycatcher families by various authors, but the evidence strongly suggest the tityras and their closest relatives are better separated as Tityridae. The AOU for example advocates this separation.SACC (2007) Description The adult cinnamon becard is 5.5 in (14 cm) long and weighs 0.6–0.8 oz (17–22 g). It is rufous above and paler cinnamon below, with a grey bill and legs. Unlike other becards, the sexes are similar, but the young are brighter above and paler overall. Northern birds have a pale supercilium and dusky line from the bill to the eye, but the subspecies ''Pachyramphus cinnamomeus magdalenae'' west of the Andes shows more contrast, with a stronger supercilium and blackish loral line. The calls include high thin whistles. The males' song is a plaintive ascending ''dee dee dee dee dee dee de'' whi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Barred Becard
The barred becard (''Pachyramphus versicolor'') is a small passerine bird which is a resident breeding species in highlands from Costa Rica to northwestern Ecuador and northern Bolivia.

The adult barred becard is 12 cm long and weighs 14 g; it has a conspicuous eye-ring. The adult male has black upperparts with much white in the wings. The sides of the head and throat have yellowish-green shading to white on the rest of the underparts. The underparts are finely barred with black.
