Twistwing
Twistwings are two species of Tyrant flycatchers from the genus Cnipodectes. They are restricted to northern and western South America and southern Central America. The genus was monotypic until a new species, Cnipodectes superrufus, was described from Peru and Bolivia in 2007.[1] Their common name refers to the modified primaries.
Species
- Brownish Twistwing (Cnipodectes subbrunneus); alternatively Brownish Flycatcher.
- Rufous Twistwing (Cnipodectes superrufus).
