Chestnut-capped Piha

Lipaugus weberi

Critically Endangered

The Chestnut-capped Piha is a Neotropical cotinga of Andean forests and foothills of western South America. It feeds largely on fruit, moves seeds through forest canopies, and many species use loud calls, bright plumage, or display perches during breeding. It faces an extremely high extinction risk, so remaining habitat patches and display or nesting sites are crucial.
