The Green Manakin (Chloropipo unicolor) is a uniformly green manakin found in humid montane forests. Its cryptic plumage helps it blend into the foliage.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests, cloud forests, and dense secondary growth in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
How to spot
Look for its uniform green plumage, which provides excellent camouflage. Listen for its simple, whistled calls, which often lead to detection in dense forest. Patience is required.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active in early mornings and late afternoons. Listen for its distinctive calls.
