Description
The crested becard (Pachyramphus validus), also known as the plain becard, 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.

Feeding Habits
Crested Becard primarily feeds on large insects. It forages alone or with mixed-species groups, perching to scan for prey before moving to a new location. It exhibits brief scanning periods of 3-4 seconds.
Habitat
The crested Becard inhabits woodland or montane-forest canopies, typically found at the borders of forests, particularly where balsa trees are prevalent. This species thrives in the wooded slopes along wet ravines within semi-arid to semi-humid areas, and it is adapted to a range of subtropical and tropical environments across broader geographical regions.
