Taxonomy
The northern schiffornis has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae,[2] where now placed by SACC.
The species was split by the AOU in 2013 from the species complex thrush-like schiffornis.[3]

gollark: You'll need to accelerate the rest of the planet.
gollark: Well, if you accelerate the bread it experiences less time, we want the opposite.
gollark: Can you toast something properly in 10 seconds?
gollark: It would take about 1.5 minutes to charge this capacitor off normal mains pre-toasting, which might be an issue.
