The white-shouldered fire-eye (Pyriglena leucoptera) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is mainly found in the Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil and eastern Paraguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
The white-shouldered fire-eye was described by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1818 and given the binomial name Turdus leucopterus.[2] The specific name is from the Ancient Greek leukopteros meaning "white-winged".[3] The current genus Pyriglena was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847.[4] The species is monotypic.[5]
