Dwarf cuckoos Orinoco Delta

The dwarf cuckoo is a tropical American bird species of the cuckoo family.

It was formerly placed in the genus ''Coccyzus'' or ''Micrococcyx''. Following the discovery that it belongs to a distinct lineage around the little cuckoo, the genus ''Coccycua'' has been reinstated for these.

It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, and heavily degraded former forest.
