Tityra semifasciata (Spix, 1825)

The Masked Tityra (Tityra semifasciata) is a medium-sized passerine bird. It has traditionally been placed in the cotinga or the tyrant flycatcher family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae,^[1] where now placed by SACC. It is found in forest and woodland from Mexico, through Central America, to northwestern and central South America (as far south as Paraguay). 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 (does not include the nape) and white tail-tip.
