Black-faced Cotinga

The black-faced cotinga is 23 to 25 cm (9.1 to 9.8 in) long; three individuals weighed 81 to 89 g (2.9 to 3.1 oz). Adult males have a mostly black head and throat with a white crescent behind the ear coverts. Their upperparts are dark gray and their wings and tail an even darker gray. Their breast is a lighter gray that becomes white on the lower belly and undertail coverts. Almost unique among passerine birds, their unfeathered parts havehite powder down and the upper surfaces of their wings and tail were also powdery. Voice: The black-faced cotinga's vocalizations include a "short, barked puh, a quiet, descending coww, and squeaky, rising huuEEE?". The last is also described as a "short, surprised-sounding wuèèèèh, gliding up to three notes higher".
