About the Cinnamon Becard

The cinnamon becard (Pachyramphus cinnamomeus) is a passerine bird in the family Tityridae, the tityras, becards, and allies. It is found in Mexico, in every Central American country except El Salvador, and in Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela.

The genus Pachyramphus has variously been assigned to the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae and the cotinga family Cotingidae. Several early twenty-first century studies confirmed the placement of Pachyramphus in Tityridae and taxonomic systems made the reassignment. In 1998 the American Ornithological Society was unsure where to place the genus and listed its members as incertae sedis but in 2011 moved them to Tityridae.
