Greenish Manakin

15 cm. Sexes alike. Greenish-olive with rufous wings and tail. The stereotypic song is a frequently repeated "tiuu..to..towee..towee" or "tiuu..to..towee". I noted various song types | <N1. " tiu...witu", "tiu..witsiwi". <N2. "tiu...widiwi...tiu." <N3. "tsiu...wi...tsiu..widiwidiwidiwidi.." These birds seem to have well defined locations in their territories from which they sing because they can be found singing day after day at the same sites. Foraging in the middle and upper stratum of trees. Frugivorous. Nest is a bulky cup situated on top of a tree-stump or close to a trunk ^44 . Common, but sometimes local, in humid primary and mature secondary forest, especially close to clearings, and forest borders. Also in open disturbed wooded or brushy areas and gallery forest. It seems to be more common at middle altitudes. Throughout the area. Up to 1200 meters ^44 . The systematic position of Schiffornis seems to be between the true manakins and the tyrant flycatchers ^91 . 12086 Song, Iguape, 10<10>20<10>94. Cloudy, 25<91>C. Open forest.
