The Yellow-headed Manakin is a vibrant manakin with a bright yellow head and olive-green body, found in humid foothill and montane forests. Males are particularly striking.
Where to spot
Humid foothill and montane forests, cloud forests, and dense secondary growth in the Andes of Colombia and Ecuador.
How to spot
Look for the male's bright yellow head. Listen for its distinctive, often ringing or whistled calls. Find active leks, where males gather to display on specific low perches.
When to spot
Year-round. Lekking activity is most prominent during the breeding season (often correlated with rainy seasons). Most active in early mornings.
