Taxonomy
The russet-winged schiffornis has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae,[2] where it is now placed by the South American Classification Committee.
The species was split by the AOU in 2013 from the species complex Thrush-like Schiffornis.[3]
