The Sira barbet (Capito wallacei fitzpatricki) is a species of American barbet inhabiting the remote eastern Andes of Ucayali Department, Peru. that was discovered on a 2008 expedition. It occurs in genetic isolation due to the isolated geography of its home range along a ridge of montane cloud forest in the southern portion of the Cerros del Sira. Eight specimens were collected from the upper Río Shinipo and Río Tzipani valleys, and a further two at Quebrada Quirapokiari in July 2011.
