Olive Manakin

The olive manakin is 13 to 13.5 cm (5.1 to 5.3 in) long and weighs 16.5 to 21 g (0.58 to 0.74 oz). Unusual for a manakin, the sexes have the same plumage. The species also has longer wings and tail relative to its size than many other manakins. Adults of the nominate subspecies have dark olive upperparts. Their throat and underparts are a slightly paler olive and their belly has a yellowish cast. Subspecies X. u. duidae is slightly smaller and brighter than the nominate. Both subspecies have a dark iris, bill, and legs and feet. Voice: The olive manakin's "advertising call" is "a clear, rising whistle, preeeeeeeeEE, penetrating but not loud". It is sometimes preceded by "a few low, stuttery stu-tu-tu-tu-tu notes given quickly, or a short chip note".
