The black-headed berryeater (Carpornis melanocephala) is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss due to deforestation.[2] They're uncommon to find, and they don't accompany mixed flocks. They have similar behavior to a Hooded berryeater, except for being as vocal.[3]
There's a lack of information about their breeding behaviors as they're scarce.
Eggs laid would be incubated solely by the female, the male would remain around the vicinity, inspecting it. The Nests would be built resembling as a pile of leaves to make in inconspicuous and to blend into the environment, preventing attacks from predators. [4]
Green and yellow with red iris, bodies are mostly black and olive. They have short dark bills.[5]
