Saffron-crested Tyrant-Manakin from the library (1 Viewer)

How up to date are your books Niels? It may be that this species was discovered after they were written?

Have a look here:

Under the Days 2-3 section:

"Days 2-3: Early in the morning of Day 2 we’ll board our flight to Iquitos, a relatively modern city along the Amazon River in northeastern Peru. After a quick check-in at our excellent hotel we’ll drive about 40 minutes for our first visit to the Mishana-Allpahuayo White Sands Forest Reserve.

Mishana is a fascinating birding location with the potential for a number of superb birds. We’ll look especially for five newly described (or in the process of being described!) species: Ancient Antwren, Allpahuayo Antbird, Zimmer’s Antbird, Mishana Tyrannulet, and Iquitos Gnatcatcher. In addition we can expect to see a number of other birds that are amazingly rare in Peru including Brown-banded Puffbird, Pearly Antshrike, Pompadour Cotinga, Saffron-crested Tyrant Manakin, Cinnamon Tyrant-Manakin, Zimmer’s Tody-Tyrant, Citron-bellied Attila, and possibly Rufous Potoo. Nights in Iquitos."

I was looking at the map in Restall: Birds of Northern South America (which admittedly does not cover the entire Peru) and in Clements checklist (6th edition) which admittedly is sometimes imprecise with range. I don't have a book for Peru, unfortunately.

Thanks to both of you for the information. I will edit the Opus entry for this bird accordingly.
