Chiroxiphia
''Chiroxiphia'' is one of several genera of manakins, small song birds of South and Central America. The male plumage is a striking combination of black and bright blue. The crown is red, except in the yellow-crowned ''C. pareola regina''. Females are comparably dull olive-greenish overall. Juveniles of both sexes resemble the adult female. As the male plumage takes several years to complete, individuals showing a level of intermediacy between full adult male and female-like juveniles are commonly seen (in particular female-plumaged birds with red, or yellow in ''C. pareola regina'', crowns). Manakins of the genus ''Chiroxiphia'' have an unusual mating system, based on female mate choice. In order to mate successfully, males have to form partnerships with another male. The two males co-operate in an elaborate courtship dance, and sing a joint song (called a ''duet'') at one of many traditionally fixed mating sites; the area where mating takes place can be described as an exp ...
