Calyptura cristata (Kinglet Calyptura)

Wikipedia Abstract

The kinglet calyptura (Calyptura cristata) is a small passerine bird. It is the only member of the genus Calyptura. It has traditionally been considered a member of the family Cotingidae, but following the move of several species from this family to Tityridae—including the purpletufts which traditionally are considered allied to the kinglet calyptura—the family placement is unclear. It is therefore considered incertae sedis by SACC.
