Spotted
An extraordinary cotinga species found in the humid forests of northern South America, famous for the male's pure white plumage and a prominent, worm-like wattle hanging from its bill.
Where to spot
Humid lowland and montane forests, particularly in the Guianan Shield (Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana), Venezuela, and northern Brazil.
How to spot
Often heard before seen. Listen for its incredibly loud, metallic 'BONK!' calls. Look for the male's pure white body and the long black wattle on its forehead.
When to spot
Year-round resident, but altitudinal migrant in some areas. Best observed during early mornings when males are vocal and displaying.

The White Bellbird holds the record for the loudest bird call ever recorded, reaching up to 125 decibels, louder than a jackhammer!
