Description
The black-capped becard (Pachyramphus marginatus) is a species of bird in the family Tityridae. It has traditionally been placed in Cotingidae or Tyrannidae, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae, where it is now placed by the South American Classification Committee. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.

Feeding Habits
Black-capped Becard primarily feeds on insects and fruit. Typically foraging alone or in pairs, black-capped Becard often integrates into mixed-species flocks. Its active peering and fluttering or sallying gleans food predominantly from mid to upper canopy levels.
Habitat
The habitat of black-capped Becard typically includes the canopy and interior of humid lowland forests, predominantly on firm ground. These birds are also found in tall secondary growth woodlands. They are less commonly seen along forest edges and have a preference for heavier woodlands compared to their counterpart, P. polychopterus, which is more suited to lighter wooded areas.
