Masked Tityra

Tityra semifasciata

The masked tityra is a medium-sized passerine bird. It has traditionally been placed in the cotinga or the tyrant flycatcher family, but evidence strongly suggests that it is better placed in Tityridae, where now placed by SACC. It is found in forest and woodland from Mexico, through Central America, to northwestern and central South America.

Appearance

Measuring 20 cm, it has a black-and-whitish plumage, and a distinct red eye-ring and base of the bill. The head is black in the male, while it is brownish or greyish in the female. The male resembles the black-tailed tityra, but can be separated by its smaller black face mask and white tail-tip.
