Spotted
A truly spectacular cotinga, easily identified by the male's extraordinarily long, pendulous, feathered wattle hanging from its chest. It inhabits the humid forests of western Colombia and Ecuador.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill forests on the Pacific slope of western Colombia and western Ecuador.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story and canopy of tall forests. Its large size, umbrella-like crest, and unbelievably long wattle are unmistakable. Listen for its deep, booming calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident, but may make altitudinal movements. Most active and vocal during the breeding season, especially early mornings.

The male's wattle can reach an astonishing length of 35 cm (14 inches), often longer than the bird's body, and is used in elaborate courtship displays.
