Corvus cyanopogon
Quick answer
COMMENTS: In his original description, Wied noted that many specimens were shot, for the species was not shy. Allen (1889: 227) listed these two specimens as syntypes of C. cyanopogon. They were formerly mounted. There is also a syntype in RMNH (Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 64). Hellmayr (1934: 23) identified the type locality as the Rio Cachoeira, one of the headwaters of the Rio Ilhéos, Bahia.
