Piprites pileata (Black-capped Piprites)

Synonyms: Piprites pileatus

Wikipedia Abstract

The black-capped piprites (Piprites pileata), also known as the black-capped manakin, is a species of suboscine passerine. It has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, although it remains unclear if this is correct. It is therefore considered incertae sedis by recent authorities such as SACC.
