Club-winged manakin

The club-winged manakin (Machaeropterus deliciosus) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador.

The club-winged manakin is about 9.5 to 10 cm (3.7 to 3.9 in) long. One female weighed 12 g (0.42 oz). The species is sexually dimorphic. Adult males have a scarlet forehead and crown and a dusky stripe through the eye. The rest of their head and their body are mostly chestnut-brown that is lighter on the face and darker on the belly. Their rump and uppertail coverts are blackish. Their flanks have some white mixed in. Their scapulars and tail are black and their wings black with much white on the flight feathers. Some wing feathers are highly modified as described in the "non-vocal sounds" section below. Adult females have an olive head with a cinnamon tinge on the face, olive upperparts, a whitish throat, yellowish olive breast and flanks, and a pale yellow belly. Both sexes have a dark brown iris, a black bill, and usually grayish pink (sometimes purplish) legs and feet. Juveniles of both sexes resemble adult females.
