Pachyrhamphus
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 beca ...

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 ...
