A striking cotinga species found in northern South America, renowned for the male's unique 'beard' of black, hair-like wattles hanging from its chin. Its calls are loud and metallic.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and montane forests in northeastern Venezuela, the Guianas, and northern Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, metallic calls, which include a distinctive 'BONG' sound. Look for the male's chestnut-brown plumage, white head, and the prominent black beard.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings when males are vocal and displaying at leks.
