A colorful cotinga found in the tepui regions of northern South America. Males are distinguished by a prominent red band across their green breast, contrasting with their dark head.
Where to spot

How to spot
Scan the mid-story and subcanopy of forest patches on tepui slopes. The male's red breast band is the key identification feature. Listen for its high-pitched, somewhat mournful whistle.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active when feeding on fruits in the early morning.
