Yellow-cheeked becard
The yellow-cheeked becard (Pachyramphus xanthogenys) is a passerine bird in the family Tityridae. It is treated variously as a distinct species or as a subspecies of the green-backed becard, Pachyramphus viridis. It has traditionally been placed in Cotingidae or Tyrannidae, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae,[2] where now placed by the South American Classification Committee. It is mainly found in Ecuador and Peru.
