André, I noticed you recently created this family page. However, I thought we had previously decided to be following Clements in terms of families - and from the info I have, Clements places Sapayoa still within Pipridae. Regardless of new studies, it hasn't been changed by the source we've chosen to follow, so shouldn't we be keeping this in Pipridae?

The same like with the Woodcreepers. I follow Clements strictly and in the printed sixth edition Sapayoidae is a family of its own between the Asities and the Pittas. I start to think that your Clements info is out of date
