Black-tailed Tityra (Tityra cayana) by Ian
Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Genesis 1:30-31 NKJV)

Tityridae is family of suboscine passerine birds found in forest and woodland in the Neotropics. The species in this family were formerly spread over the families Tyrannidae, Pipridae and Cotingidae. As yet, no widely accepted common name exists for the family, although Tityras and allies and Tityras, Mourners and allies have been used. They are small to medium-sized birds. Under current classification, the family ranges in size from the Buff-throated Purpletuft, at 3.75 in (9.5 cm) and 0.35 oz (10 grams), to the Masked Tityra, at up to 8.7 in (22 cm) and 3.1 oz (88 grams). Most have relatively short tails and large heads. (Wikipedia with editing)
