Tyrant-flycatchers (Tyrannidae)
Rufous Mourner (Rhytipterna holerythra) - HBW 9, p. 427
French: Tyran plaintif
German: Zimtschmucktyrann
Spanish: Plañidera Rojiza
Taxonomy: Lipaugus holerythrus P. L. Sclater and Salvin, 1860, Choctum, Verpaz, Guatemala.
Placed by early authors in the family Cotingidae, with supposed close relationship to genera Laniocera and Lipaugus. Well-supported anatomical evidence, however, indicates that it is a tyrannid, having close affinities to Sirystes, Casiornis and Myiarchus. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- holerythra (P. L. Sclater & Salvin, 1860) - Atlantic slope from S Mexico (N Oaxaca) S to Panama and N Colombia (E to Santander).
