Shrike-like Cotinga Laniisoma elegans Scientific name definitions

The Shrike-like Cotinga is not a true cotinga, but is most closely allied to the becards, tityras, and their relatives. It is generally a rare and sought-after species that is found in the foothills of southeastern Brazil and the Andes Mountains. Both sexes are green above and yellow with black barring below. The male has a black cap, and young birds have rufous edging on the wing coverts. It feeds on fruits and insects, sometimes in association with mixed flocks. Brazilian populations move from the interior to coastal lowlands in the austral winter.
