Spotted
A large, glossy black cotinga species found in the humid rainforests of Central and South America. The male has a vibrant purple throat patch, which can be expanded during display.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and foothill rainforests from Costa Rica south to northwestern Ecuador and Amazonian Brazil.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story and canopy of tall forests, often in small, noisy groups. The male's iridescent purple throat patch is a key identifier. Listen for their distinctive, loud, 'squawk-like' calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon when foraging for fruits.
