The cinnamon becard (Pachyramphus cinnamomeus) is a passerine bird in the family Tityridae, the tityras, becards, and allies. It is found in Mexico, in every Central American country except El Salvador, and in Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela.
The genus Pachyramphus has variously been assigned to the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae and the cotinga family Cotingidae. Several early twenty-first century studies confirmed the placement of Pachyramphus in Tityridae and taxonomic systems made the reassignment. In 1998 the American Ornithological Society was unsure where to place the genus and listed its members as incertae sedis but in 2011 moved them to Tityridae.

The cinnamon becard and the chestnut-crowned becard (P. castaneus) are sister species and form a superspecies. The cinnamon becard has these four subspecies: Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cinnamon Becard sighting in Carara National Park on a given day, based on 288 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 243rd most-seen of the 414 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cinnamon Becard is recorded against all the birds logged in Carara National Park (288 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
