The brown-winged schiffornis (Schiffornis turdina), is a species of Neotropical bird in the family Tityridae.
Taxonomy
[edit]The brown-winged schiffornis has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae,[2] where it is now placed by the South American Classification Committee.
The species was split by the AOU in 2013 from the species complex thrush-like schiffornis.[3]
Description
[edit]It is medium-sized, about 24 cm (9 in.) long. Depending on subspecies, it is overall brownish or olive. The belly is often greyish.
Distribution and habitat
[edit]It is found in Amazon rainforest and eastern Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
