Comment reconnaître : Long-tailed manakin
The long-tailed manakin stands out with its deep black plumage and intensely glowing, sky-blue back. Particularly distinctive are the two elongated black tail feathers that extend well beyond the rest of the plumage.
The bright red head feathers give the long-tailed manakin a striking contrast. With a body length of 13 to 16 centimetres it is fairly compact in build. Females are mostly olive green and have no conspicuous tail feathers, which clearly distinguishes them from the males.
