Black-capped donacobius        Images © Mark A. Chappell

The black-capped donacobius is a striking and noisy species favoring river and lake edges in Amazonia.   It is something of a taxonomic enigma and probably is most closely related to the Eurasian warblers.   These were photographed in southeastern Peru.
