Long-tailed Manakin

The Long-tailed Manakin adult male has predominantly velvety black plumage, contrasting with a pale blue patch across the upper back. Its wings, breast, and tail are uniformly black, with two narrow central tail feathers extending well beyond the remaining feathers to form elongated streamers. A compact patch of vivid red crown feathers stands out sharply against the otherwise black head.
