Red-capped Manakin, Ceratopipra mentalis

BS-0138

Red-capped Manakin

Ceratopipra mentalis

The Red-capped Manakin adult male has predominantly velvety black plumage, contrasting sharply with its brilliant scarlet-red head. The back and breast are uniformly black, as are the wings and short tail, without conspicuous barring, spotting, or streaking. Bright yellow thigh feathers form a distinctive accent below the dark body, though these small patches may be partly concealed by the surrounding plumage.
