Blue-crowned Manakin

The Blue-crowned Manakin adult male has a compact, short-tailed appearance, with predominantly black plumage and a contrasting bright blue crown in black-bodied populations. The wings, back, breast, and tail are uniformly dark in these males, without conspicuous barring or spotting; body plumage is greener in some geographic forms. Its defining crown patch consists of closely packed blue feathers, not exposed skin.
