Jet Manakin Chloropipo unicolor

Rarely encountered large manakin found in dense undergrowth of humid forests, mostly on outlying ridges along the east slope of the Andes. Male is entirely black with white underwings, visible when the wings are flicked or the bird flies; unlike any other manakin in range. Female is entirely brown and might be confused for a schiffornis, but note smaller size and white underwings. Most often noticed by its voice, a distinctive rising nasal “tuwee!”.
