Becards are in the family Tityridae, which consists of about 50 medium-sized New World songbirds. Ornithologists argue about the systematics of these birds, both within the family and relative to other birds. Tityridae are closely related to flycatchers and/or manakins.
Cinnamon Becards are found from southern Mexico south to northwestern South America. Across this range, the species is tolerant to converted habitat, and is therefore common. We only saw one at the Laguna del Lagarto Lodge on 13 July 2017. The species is insectivorous and also eats berries (Mobley 2018).
