Spotted
A magnificent cotinga species endemic to the western Amazon basin. The male is adorned with brilliant red plumage, contrasting with a black neck and shoulders, and long, wispy crest feathers.
Where to spot
Humid lowland rainforests in the western Amazon of eastern Ecuador, northeastern Peru, and western Brazil.
How to spot
Scan the mid-story and canopy of primary rainforest. The male's combination of brilliant red and black neck is key for identification. Listen for their somewhat buzzing, scratchy calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
