Leucopternis

Leucopternis is a Neotropical genus of bird of prey in the Accipitridae family. They are generally associated with tropical or subtropical forests, and most are uncommon or rare. Several have a largely white plumage, and a few have distinctive orange or red ceres.

Species
Traditionally, Leucopternis contains the following species, but as the genus probably is polyphyletic, significant future changes are likely with several species being moved to other genera.


 * Semiplumbeous Hawk (Leucopternis semiplumbeus)
 * Black-faced Hawk (Leucopternis melanops)
 * White-browed Hawk (Leucopternis kuhli)
