Striolated Manakin
The striolated manakin or western striped manakin (''Machaeropterus striolatus'') is a small South American species of passerine bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in west and north west Amazonia. The striolated manakin was formerly considered conspecific with the kinglet manakin (''Machaeropterus regulus'') with the common name "striped manakin". Males have a bright red crown, which the females lack. Taxonomy The striolated manakin was described by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1838 and given the binomial name ''Pipra striolata''. The species is now placed in the genus ''Machaeropterus'' that was introduced by Bonaparte in 1854. Five subspecies are recognised: * ''Machaeropterus striolatus antioquiae'' Chapman Chapman may refer to: Businesses * Chapman Entertainment, a former British television production company * Chapman Guitars, a guitar company established in 2009 by Rob Chapman * Chapman's, a Canadian ice cream and ice water products manuf ...

Pipridae
The manakins are a family, Pipridae, of small suboscine passerine birds. The group contains some 54 species distributed through the American tropics. The name is from Middle Dutch ''mannekijn'' "little man" (also the source of the different bird name '' mannikin''). Description Manakins range in size from and in weight from . Species in the genus ''Tyranneutes'' are the smallest manakins, those in the genus ''Antilophia'' are believed to be the largest (since the genus ''Schiffornis'' are no longer considered manakins). They are compact stubby birds with short tails, broad and rounded wings, and big heads. The bill is short and has a wide gap. Females and first-year males have dull green plumage; most species are sexually dichromatic in their plumage, the males being mostly black with striking colours in patches, and in some species having long, decorative tail or crown feathers or erectile throat feathers. In some species, males from two to four years old have a distinctive sub ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Painted Manakin
The painted manakin (''Machaeropterus eckelberryi'') is a small South American species of passerine bird in the manakin family Pipridae. It was first described in 2017 from specimens collected in north west Peru. Taxonomy The painted manakin was described by the American ornithologist Daniel Lane and colleagues in 2017 and given the binomial name ''Machaeropterus eckelberryi''. The specific epithet was chosen to commemorate the American bird artist Donald R. Eckelberry (1921-2000). The species is placed in the genus ''Machaeropterus'' that was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854. The painted manakin was described as a new species based solely on the differences in vocalization. It is morphologically identical to one of the subspecies of the striolated manakin (''M. striolatus aureopectus''). No genetic evidence has been published. The species is found on the eastern flanks of the Cordillera Escalera and Cordillera Azul near the valley of the Rio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fiery-capped Manakin
The fiery-capped manakin (''Machaeropterus pyrocephalus'') is a species of bird in the family Pipridae, the manakins. It is one of the five species in the genus ''Machaeropterus''. It is named for its bright yellow head feathers. Distribution and habitat The fiery-capped manakin is found in the southern Amazon Basin of Brazil, southeast Peru, and northern Bolivia; also Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. Its range is in the south-central Amazon Basin, then spreads east–west, and is mostly associated with River drainages. The range, shaped like an inverted "Y" starts at the Amazon River outlet in southern Amapá state and Pará. At the Tapajós-Amazon River confluence, the range goes south, upstream on the Tapajós and forks east–west. The eastern range extends to the upstream third of the Xingu River, then further east to the upstream half of the Araguaia in the Araguaia-Tocantins River system. The range narrows eastward anothe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kinglet Manakin
The kinglet manakin or eastern striped manakin (''Machaeropterus regulus'') is a small South American species of passerine bird in the manakin family Pipridae. It is found in the Atlantic Forest of south eastern Brazil. It was formerly considered conspecific with the striolated manakin (''Machaeropterus striolatus'') with the common name "striped manakin". Males have a bright red crown, which the females lack. The kinglet manakin was described by the German zoologist Carl Wilhelm Hahn in 1819 and given the binomial name ''Pipra regulus''. The species is now placed in the genus ''Machaeropterus'' that was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854. The species is monotypic.

Club-winged Manakin
The club-winged manakin (''Machaeropterus deliciosus'') is a small passerine bird which is a resident breeding species in the cloud forest on the western slopes of the Andes Mountains of Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. The manakins are a family (biology), family (Pipridae) of small bird species of subtropical and tropical Central America, Central and South America. Sound-making mechanism Like several other manakins, the club-winged manakin produces a mechanical sound with its extremely modified secondary remiges, an effect known as sonation. The manakins adapted their wings in this odd way as a result of sexual selection. In manakins, the males have evolved adaptations to suit the females' attraction towards sound. Wing sounds in various manakin Lineage (evolution), lineages have evolved independently. Some species pop like a firecracker, and there are a couple that make whooshing noises in flight. The club-winged manakin has the unique ability to produce musical sounds with i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
