The purpletufts (''Iodopleura'') are a genus of birds in the family Tityridae. It has traditionally been placed in the cotinga family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae,〔(Adopt the Family Tityridae ) - South American Classification Committee (2007)〕 where now placed by SACC. These relatively small, short-tailed birds are found in the canopy of forests in tropical South America. Their name is a reference to the purple feather tufts on the flanks of the male, but these are often not visible when the wings are held closed, and females lack them entirely. ==Species== * Buff-throated purpletuft, ''Iodopleura pipra'' * White-browed purpletuft, ''Iodopleura isabellae'' * Dusky purpletuft, ''Iodopleura fusca'' ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Purpletuft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
