Spotted
A magnificent and unmistakable cotinga found in the Amazon rainforest. Males are glossy black with a large, sweeping crest and a long, pendulous throat wattle covered in feather scales.
Where to spot
Humid lowland rainforests in the western Amazon basin, including parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story and canopy, often perched silently. Its large size, distinctive crest, and long wattle are unique. Listen for its deep, booming 'oom-PAH' calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed in the early morning and late afternoon. Males are most vocal during the breeding season.

The male's wattle, which can be up to 15 cm long, inflates and pulsates during courtship displays, producing a resonant boom.
