Schiffornis is a genus of bird in the family Tityridae. It has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, but evidence strongly suggest it is better placed in Tityridae,[1] where now placed by SACC. Instead of Schiffornis', they are sometimes referred to as mourners; a name they share with members of the genera Laniocera, Laniisoma and Rhytipterna.
