Black-billed Peppershrike
Cyclarhis nigrirostris Lafresnaye, 1842
Vireonidae — Vireos, Greenlets, Shrike-babblers
Black-billed Peppershrike, Cyclarhis nigrirostris, is a passerine in the Vireonidae family that breeds in Colombia and Ecuador. It lives in the Andes, including moist montane forest and areas where forest has been heavily altered. The bird is recognised by its black-tipped bill, which sets it apart from the Rufous-browed Peppershrike. It was described by Lafresnaye in 1842. Two subspecies are accepted, one in Colombia and Ecuador west of the East Andes, and another from the West Andes of southern Colombia south into Pichincha Province, Ecuador.
