The varzea schiffornis (Schiffornis major), also known as the várzea mourner or greater schiffornis, is a species of bird that belongs to Tityridae family.

It has traditionally been placed in the manakin family, but evidence strongly suggest that it is better placed in Tityridae,[2] where it is now classified by SACC.

It is found in most western regions of the Amazon Basin and Amazonian Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru; also regions of Venezuela.
