The Blue-headed Manakin is a vibrant Piprid, with males showcasing a striking bright blue crown and nape that contrasts with their green body. Females are dull green.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests along the eastern slopes of the Andes, from Venezuela south through Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Search the understory and mid-story of humid forests, often within mixed-species flocks. The male's bright blue head is the definitive field mark.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, with males displaying more intensely in the mornings. Observable year-round.
