Greenish Schiffornis
Schiffornis virescens
The greenish schiffornis (Schiffornis virescens), also greenish mourner or greenish manakin (not to be confused with the green manakin), is a species of bird in the family Tityridae. It has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae, where now placed by SACC.

Description
The greenish schiffornis is about 15.5 cm (6.1 in) long and weighs 21.5 to 28.5 g (0.76 to 1.0 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have an indistinct pale ring around the eye on an otherwise greenish brown face. Their upperparts are greenish brown and their wings and tail are rufescent. Their underparts are a lighter greenish brown than their upperparts. They have a dark brown iris, an olive-grayish bill, and olive-grayish legs.
Range & habitat
The greenish schiffornis is found in southeastern Brazil south of a line roughly from southeastern Bahia southwest to northern Rio Grande do Sul. Its range continues south through eastern Paraguay into northeastern Argentina's Misiones and Corrientes provinces. The species inhabits humid primary forest, mature secondary forest, and gallery forest, where it favors the understory to mid-story. In elevation it ranges from sea level to about 1,200 m (3,900 ft).

What it does
The greenish schiffornis is known to feed on adult insects and caterpillars. Its diet and foraging behavior are believed to be similar to that of the brown-winged schiffornis (S. turdina), which see here.
