Grey-tailed Piha
Snowornis subalaris (Sclater, PL, 1861)
Cotingidae — Cotingas
Grey-tailed Piha, Snowornis subalaris, is a bird of the Cotingidae family in the Andes of South America, breeding from southern Colombia through Ecuador to Peru. It lives in humid montane forest on the eastern slope, mainly in foothill and lower subtropical zones, and in Peru it is often on outlying ridges rather than the main Andean chain. It is a year-round resident. The sexes look alike, and adults have a partly concealed black crest, ash-grey tail and uppertail coverts, and a pale yellow throat that becomes bright yellow olive on the breast.
