The disc records this picture against the bird without a caption. Disc 3 · 2006

Voice

The raucous call resembles that of the Squirrel Cuckoo 'he-gheh-gheh' (³⁰) or 'wraah, wra-wra'(⁴⁴).

Behavior

Occurs within dense tangles in the lower stratum of trees. When single males display, they jump up vertically, display crown and beat wings making a 'dop-dop' noise like a small woodpecker (³⁰), then return to perch and utter their rough call.

Habitat and status

Uncommon and local in dense viny tangles of gallery and dry forest and borders.

Distribution

Extralimital. Inland in northern Estado São Paulo ( Lins etc., ⁴⁰) and Minas Gerais (Parco Nacional de Caraça, ¹⁵). May occur closer to the coast in suitable habitat.

Across the three discs

The work was published on three discs — Disc 2 in 2001, Disc 3 in 2006 and Disc 1 in 2011. Where they differ, that is a difference between historical releases, and it is never merged away. The 2011 disc is not treated as correcting the earlier ones.

The disc's own record fields that place the bird on its list: a non-empty entry in the species table, and the byte that marks it as selected on a local checklist.
