Piprites griseiceps (Grey-headed Piprites; Gray-headed Piprites)

Wikipedia Abstract

The grey-headed piprites (Piprites griseiceps) is a species of bird which traditionally has been placed in the Pipridae family, although it remains unclear if this is correct. It is therefore considered incertae sedis by recent authorities such as SACC.It is found in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.
