Round-tailed Manakin Ceratopipra chloromeros

Fairly large manakin of mature rainforest understory and midstory. Males are black with red head, yellow leg feathering, and a light eye; females are dull green with a variable yellow wash from the throat to the belly and undertail coverts and a dark eyel. Both sexes have a pale tan bill and rounded tail. Males most similar to Red-headed Manakin, which has a darker, usually orange eye (not white or pale gray) and red leg feathering (not yellow). Females distinguished from most other species by pale bill, and most similar to Red-headed and Golden-headed Manakins, which are slightly duller (not as bright yellow underneath) and have square (not rounded) tails. Listen for the male’s song, a sneezy “tsi-BRRT”.
