White-cheeked Cotinga

The white-cheeked cotinga is about 21 cm (8.3 in) long and weighs 46 to 57 g (1.6 to 2.0 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a dirty brown-black forehead, crown, and lores. Their ear coverts are white to silvery and the rest of their face dark ashy brown. Their nape is ochre with heavy black streaks. Their upperparts are blackish with ochre to buff streaks. Their throat is dark ashy brown. Their underparts are rich ochre with heavy blackish streaks on the upper breast and sides; the streaks are narrower on the lower breast and flanks and absent from the undertail coverts. Voice: As of August 2025 xeno-canto had four recordings of white-cheeked cotinga vocalizations; the Cornell Lab's Macaulay Library had 11 with much overlap. The white-cheeked cotinga's song is "a series of deep, burry accelerating quacks into a rising-falling chatter, slowing at the very end" djee-djee-DJEE-DJEE-djee'dje'dje'djer'r'r'r'r'dje'dje".
