Golden-winged Manakin

The golden-winged manakin is about 11 cm (4.3 in) long and weighs 9.0 to 13.5 g (0.32 to 0.48 oz). The species is sexually dimorphic. Adult males have a bright golden-yellow forecrown of plush feathers that curve forward over the bill and short black plumes on either side of it that project up as "horns". Their plumage otherwise is mostly black with a patch of orange-red on the hindcrown, a patch of golden-yellow on the throat, and entirely yellow primaries, secondaries, and outermost tail feathers. Adult females are mostly olive-green with a yellow-olive throat, belly, and wing linings. Voice: Male golden-winged manakins make a quiet frog-like "nurrt" call when near their display site. During the "log approach" display they make "a long, whistling seeee-tseet-tseet call ending in a rapid nurrt" as it lands. Both sexes make a thin, high-pitched "tseet" call while foraging.
