ID tip
The rose-collared piha is 20 to 22 cm (7.9 to 8.7 in) long. The species is sexually dimorphic, which is uncommon among Lipaugus cotingas. Adult males have a wide pinkish magenta collar that separates their medium gray head from their medium gray upperparts, wings, and tail. Their underparts are mostly paler gray with pinkish magenta undertail coverts. Adult females are slightly smaller than males; they have no collar and their undertail coverts are cinnamon-rufous. The male's plumage is unique. Voice: The rose-collared piha is not highly vocal; it calls infrequently at dawn and irregularly a few times during the day. Its song is "a clear, whistled sueeet-suEEEeeeeoo, sliding up then down." It more often gives "single swEEEeeu, rising whistled preeEE!, or longer, rising SWEEEEEET!" calls.
