Masked Tityra, Tityra semifasciata


Masked Tityra
I managed this very distant shot of a handsome male Masked Tityra
on the grounds of Bosque del Cabo after the bird was pointed out
by Carlos Leiton, the staff naturalist. These birds were formerly
classified as cotingas and then as flycatchers; currently most authorities
place them in their own family, Tityridae, which they share with the
becards.
