Identification
Spectacular blackish and red cotinga; in females the black is replaced by olive-green and the red is paler. Occurs from middle levels to the subcanopy of the interior of tall humid forests. May be found at fruiting trees. Commonest call is a loud, somewhat nasal “whea,” often preceded by a whistling wing whirr, typically performed in a lek together with several other males.
