The "Piauhau hurleur" (Screaming Piha, in French Guyana: Paypayo) sounds more like "piauhau" than the Purple-breasted Cotinga (which sounds more like a chicken to me). So I assume there was a bit of a misunderstanding.Buffon's Piauhau is Querula purpurata, not a Lipaugus. Why is this name given to Lipaugus rather than its original species, if indeed Querula is its original species? What is the origin of the name Piauhau? according to Buffon, this would come from his cry. Why do those who draw up the lists (especially in French) in common language do they do anything?
